CDC: West Nile Virus May Have Peaked

Posted: Updated:

Health officials say it looks like we've seen the worst of the West Nile Virus.

The CDC says this year's outbreak has been the worst since we learned about the virus in 1999.

It's spread by mosquitoes.

More than 2,600 people have gotten sick.

118 of those died, including 8 in Oklahoma.

Experts expect the cases will start declining soon.
