More Mosquitos In B. A. Carry West Nile Virus

Posted: Updated:

Good news in the fight against the West Nile Virus.

A sharp increase in Oklahoma cases seems to be leveling off.

The Health Department released brand new numbers Tuesday.

Total West Nile cases have increased by just four in the past week.

And no additional deaths were reported.

Totals for 2012 are 65 cases and three deaths.

Mosquito testing sites are set up all over Tulsa County to find out where the disease is most concentrated.

On the latest map just released by the Health Department, the orange dots represent sites positive for West Nile.

Most zip codes have one or two.

But in Broken Arrow in the 74012 zip code, three of its four mosquito testing sites were positive for the West Nile Virus.
