Experts said that they did see a positive case in 2021.
This week's cold front brought in some much-needed rain, but those who have lived in the Coastal Bend for some times know that with the rain mosquitoes come. Thankfully, there haven't been reports of West Nile virus found in any mosquitoes in our area this year. However, the recent Assistant Director of Corpus Christi - Nueces County Public Health,
Dr. Dante Gonzalez says that many people may not know that the West Nile Virus typically starts in a bird. "Then the mosquito will feed on the bird and then the mosquito will get infected and then feed on a human. Then through that bite and that mechanism is how a human will typically get the virus," Gonzalez said. Gonzalez says while there hasn't been a West Nile related death in Nueces County since 2016, he says that in 2021, the health district saw twenty-five positive mosquito pools --the largest amount in the last 8 years.
