2008 West Nile Virus Activity
The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District's ongoing surveillance program has detected West Nile virus activity in Sacramento county as of May 9, 2008. Historical data for 2007 is available here.
If you see a bird, particularly a crow or magpie, lacking signs of trauma that has been dead for less than 24 hours, please call 1-877-WNV-BIRD (1-877-968-2473) or report it online here. Crows and magpies are particularly susceptible to the disease, so they make excellent early warning sentinels for virus activity in our area.
