West Nile virus
WNV
By:

Science-based educational materials for youth and adults on dealing with West Nile Virus are available through county Extension offices.

Mosquito populations do not shrink during drought. The opposite is true, especially in western South Dakota, where the species of mosquito that carries West Nile virus actually thrives in dry conditions.

In 2003, South Dakota reported the highest per capita human caseload of West Nile virus in the nation, with 1,038 cases and 14 deaths. SDSU and the South Dakota Department of Health monitor mosquito numbers and have mounted an aggressive educational campaign targeted to the general public, school children, the elderly, and cities and municipalities.
