Santa Clara County Vector Control Press Release

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIF. – The Santa Clara County Vector Control District (SCCvcd) has confirmed that adult mosquitoes collected from an area including portions of the 95112, 95131 and 95133 ZIP code areas of the city of San Jose have tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV). The detection of mosquitoes infected with WNV has prompted the scheduling of a mosquito fogging treatment in the surrounding areas in an effort to prevent human cases of WNV.
