Most mosquitoes do not fly very far from their larval habitat, but the salt marsh mosquito migrates 75 to 100 miles over the course of its life.
Historical 2007 West Nile Virus Activity
The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District's ongoing surveillance program has detected West Nile virus activity in Sacramento and Yolo counties during 2007.
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.
