Mosquitos with West Nile virus have been detected in Mississauga: city | CBC News

West Nile virus has been detected in some mosquitos in Peel Region, particularly near Airport and Derry roads in Mississauga. While the risk of contracting the virus remains low, prevention is essential due to the lack of a vaccine or specific treatment for humans. High-risk groups include individuals over the age of 50 and those with weakened immune systems. Recommendations for residents include staying indoors during peak times, using DEET or Icaridin, wearing light-coloured clothing, eliminating standing water, and securing screens on windows and doors.
