Human case count represents those confirmed by laboratory testing only. * A previously reported Marion County case was not confirmed by additional testing from the CDC. ¹ Other mosquito-borne illnesses include LaCrosse encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis and Eastern Equine encephalitis. More about these diseases » For latest figures on animals with mosquito-borne illnesses, including WNV, see the Mississippi Board of Animal Health. ² Mosquito samples are drawn from mosquito traps statewide. WNV-positive mosquitoes in a sample indicate that WNV is active in the area and could spread to humans.
