Public Service Announcement
Monday, August 17, 2026

Sutter County Public Health has confirmed the first human case of West Nile Virus (WNV) in Sutter County this year. Yuba County confirmed their first human case last week. WNV is transmitted to humans and animals by the bite of an infected mosquito and is generally a risk June through October.

This has been an active year for WNV in California, with double the number of human cases year to date compared to last year. The California Department of Public Health reported 30 human cases, including three deaths, as of the end of last week. The reported cases span 14 counties across California.

People infected with WNV fall into three categories:

No symptoms/asymptomatic (8 in 10 people)
Mild to moderate fever illness with fatigue and body aches (1 in 5 people)
Severe illness with neurologic symptoms such as encephalitis or meningitis (less than 1 in 150 people).
Residents can reduce the risk of infection by practicing the “Three Ds”:
DEET – Use a proven insect repellent like DEET. Other recommended repellents include: picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, para-menthane-diol, IR3535 or 2-undecanone. Always use repellent according to label instructions. DEET is safe for use on children when used as directed.
DAWN AND DUSK – Mosquitoes that transmit WNV bite in the early morning and evening. Wear proper clothing and repellent if outside during these times. Make sure that doors and windows have tight-fitting screens to keep mosquitoes out. Repair or replace screens with tears or holes.
DRAIN – Mosquitoes lay their eggs on standing water. Eliminate or drain all sources of standing water on your property, including flowerpots, car tires, rain gutters, and pet bowls. For standing water that cannot be drained such as fountains, ponds, etc., consider adding “Mosquito Dunks” or mosquito fish, which feed on mosquito larvae.https://sutter-yubamvcd.org/. A surveillance map can be found there as well, which shows the location of WNV positive dead birds, mosquito collections, and sentinel chickens. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds.
