Mosquito Forecast
For September 28th - October 4th, 2026
West Nile virus continues to show up in our local mosquito samples. Last week, four more samples were found containing West Nile virus, two of these were from sites that had not been positive for virus this year. At present, West Nile virus has been recorded in 38 samples from 16 sites. In addition, two of our sentinel chickens tested positive for a flavivurus, although further analysis will be necessary to determine if either of these are West Nile or some other related virus. Overall mosquito numbers rose about 10% from a week ago, and much of this increase was related to the seasonal increase of Culex nigripalpus, a nondescript dark mosquito that generally feeds on a variety of cold and warm blooded organisms, including humans.
