Larimer County, particularly Fort Collins, is experiencing a significant increase in the number of mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus (WNV) compared to last year. The high number of infected mosquitoes is concerning and unusual for this time of year. Larimer County uses a vector index to determine the threat of WNV, with an index above 0.5 indicating a strong likelihood of human cases. Currently, the vector indexes in various towns/cities in the county are above this threshold. Fort Collins will begin spraying for mosquitoes in response to the rising threat. The increase in infected mosquitoes is attributed to a wet spring followed by warm temperatures, creating ideal conditions for mosquito breeding. To reduce the risk of WNV, individuals are advised to eliminate standing water, use mosquito repellent, and avoid exposure during peak mosquito feeding times.
