SAN DIEGO — A batch of mosquitos recently collected from the north end of Los Penasquitos lagoon adjacent to Del Mar and parts of San Diego tested positive for West Nile Virus according to San Diego County officials.
West Nile is a mosquito-borne virus that causes disease in people, horses, and birds. Mosquitos become infected by biting infected birds and then can bite and infect people. This marks the first sign of this disease in mosquitos this year. So far, there are no reports of any people contracting the West Nile virus.In 2015, 55 San Diegans tested positive for the virus and six of them died."Most are like flu symptoms: achy, you don’t want to eat, body aches, headache; things along those lines. People that are very sick could get photophobia; which causes sensitivity to light, migraines, high fever, and neck stiffness," said Dr. Yablonicky.
