West Nile Virus

Residents can resume putting up bird feeders as bird deaths from a mysterious illness are now on the decline, says a state wildlife vet.

In a typical year, NJ sees 8 human infections. In 2021, we're already at 14, with additional cases under investigation.

West Nile virus was found in a section of Monmouth County on Wednesday prompting causing officials to schedule a mosquito spray on Thursday.

September is peak season for West Nile Virus in New Jersey and the State Department of Health is urging residents to protect themselves against infected mosquitoes.

The first West Nile virus infected mosquito of 2020 for New Jersey has been found.

After the earliest confirmed human case ever at the beginning of July, state officials are monitoring mosquito activity very closely.

Eight samples across five counties have tested positive for the virus, though no human cases have been reported this year.

Have you seen a low flying helicopter around Ocean County recently? No, it's not a manhunt or black-ops, here's what's going on:

A 15-year-old mare that contracted Encephalitis was euthenized, and a 10-year-old stallion infected with West Nile Virus is being treated.

In both instances, the horses that contracted the disease had not been inoculated against it this year.
