Following the detection of West Nile virus April 20 in a dead American crow collected from Menlo Park, San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District officials conducted additional targeted disease surveillance from surrounding areas and they tested negative.
Although adult mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus were not detected at this time, officials continue to conduct West Nile virus surveillance throughout the county. Residents are asked to assist with this effort by reporting fresh carcasses of birds or tree squirrels to the California West Nile Virus Hotline at www.westnile.ca.gov or by phone at (877) WNV-BIRD ((877) 968-2473).
For assistance with a mosquito problem in San Mateo County, contact the District at (650) 344-8592. For more information on West Nile Virus and other District services visit us on the Web at www.smcmvcd.org.
