The Florida Department of Health has issued the attached Mosquito-Borne Illness Advisory after several sentinel chickens tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV).

At Pasco County Mosquito Control District, we've been actively responding since our surveillance first indicated elevated virus activity. Our teams have already increased mosquito surveillance and implemented targeted mosquito control efforts in the affected areas, and those enhanced operations are continuing to reduce mosquito populations and help protect public health.

While the detection of West Nile virus in sentinel chickens is an important indicator that the virus is circulating in local mosquito populations, it also demonstrates that our surveillance system is working exactly as intended providing an early warning so we can respond quickly and strategically.

Residents can help protect themselves and their families by following the Drain & Cover message:
🦟 Drain standing water around your home each week to eliminate mosquito breeding sites.
🦟 Cover exposed skin by wearing appropriate clothing and using US EPA-registered insect repellent when spending time outdoors.

If you are experiencing unusually high mosquito activity, please report it to PCMCD so our team can investigate. https://www.pascomosquito.org/

Together, through surveillance, targeted mosquito control, and community participation, we can reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases in Pasco County.
