Seven more human cases were reported in Denton County this week, including three on Friday which brings the total in the county to 10.
One of the confirmed cases is in the city of Denton which heightened its risk level Friday from risk level 3: public health concern, to risk level 4: public health warning., risk level 4 means the probability of a human outbreak is moderate to high. It triggers when multiple mosquito pools collected at different times and locations test positive for arthropod-borne virus or diseases, and a single human case confirmed with laboratory testing, according to the site.
“In response, the Carrollton Animal Services team will set several mosquito traps and will test the collected mosquitoes for West Nile Virus immediately,” said Animal Services Manager Travis Caperton. “If we receive positive results, crews will spray this area during the evening following testing.” “You shouldn't play with something like this,” said Dranda Hopps, a homeowner in the Wise County town of Springtown.He tested positive for West Nile and died days later.This week, she says she learned the virus was confirmed as his cause of death.Baltimore Key Bridge Collapse
