CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. — The first case of West Nile Virus has been found in a mosquito sample collected in Cumberland County, officials said Monday.
Cumberland County’s Vector Control Office was notified by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection that a positive sample was collected at South Middleton Township Park. “We will continue to monitor this area and survey for potential water habitats,” said John Bitner, Cumberland County Chief of Vector Control. “We will utilize mosquito control throughout the county when needed.”Using mosquito repellants, wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants.
Mosquitoes transmit WNV by feeding on infected birds and transmit the disease when biting another bird, animal, or human. The county’s WNV program applies an Integrated Pest Management Plan to control mosquitoes, while limiting the effects to people and the environment. Vector Control will continue to collect and monitor the mosquito population and to actively treat water habitats to limit future generations of mosquitoes.
The virus is not spread by person-to-person contact. One in five people infected with WNV develop a mild infection called West Nile Fever; aches, fever, skin rash and swollen lymph nodes are symptoms of this infection. With rest and fluids, most people recover in a few days. Less than one percent of infections develop into the life-threatening West Nile Encephalitis. Symptoms in severe cases include a high fever, headache, neck stiffness, muscle weakness, disorientation, tremors, and convulsions. This infection requires immediate medical treatment.
