Southern Nevada is facing the highest level of mosquito activity in known history, with more than 3,000 mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile virus, raising concerns for residents and potential tourists planning vacations in the area.
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, known for aggressive daytime biting, have tested positive for West Nile virus in Clark County for the first time, contributing to the significant rise in mosquito-related complaints.
Health officials highlight the seriousness of West Nile virus, with about one in five infected individuals experiencing symptoms, and a smaller fraction facing the risk of severe, potentially fatal illness.
