West Nile threat looms again in W.Va. county
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) _ A mosquito carrying the West Nile virus has been found in Kanawha County for the third time in three months.
Kanawha-Charleston Health Department officials say the mosquito was found in a wetlands area near a Capital High School soccer field. Treatments began on the area Tuesday and the field has been closed temporarily.
West Nile-infected mosquitoes were identified in July in St. Albans and in June in the Tornado area.
West Nile is a mosquito-borne disease that causes encephalitis, or swelling of the brain. Mosquitoes often breed in stagnant water.
