This post will be updated with any new WNV pool discoveries throughout the week.
The areas surrounding the detection sites were treated within a one-mile radius to knock down adult mosquito populations and prevent human cases of WNV. The Ada County Mosquito Abatement District will continue to monitor and treat populations throughout the abatement district boundaries to control mosquitoes and prevent WNV from being transmitted to humans and livestock.
Visit the Ada County Mosquito Tracker to keep updated on mosquito pools that have tested positive for West Nile virus in Ada County.
