First Human West Nile Case Detected

The first human case of West Nile virus has been detected in the region.

The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit says a Windsor-Essex County resident tested positive after experiencing symptoms.

Most people with West Nile Virus never develop symptoms and will not know they have the virus. Approximately 25% of people develop the West Nile fever while less than 1% develop a severe neuro-invasive disease.

The health unit will continue to monitor West Nile Virus activity in the region for a few more weeks. Since May 25, 2016 eight mosquito pools have tested positive for the virus.
