Summary
Toronto Public Health confirms the first human case of West Nile virus in 2026 — an adult resident — as mosquito bites spread the virus. While 2025 saw 26 cases, only 14 have been reported so far this year. Symptoms appear two weeks after a bite, including fever, headaches, nausea, body aches, stiff neck, or rash — usually mild, but serious for older adults or those with weakened immune systems. Stay protected by wearing long sleeves, using repellent, eliminating standing water, and sealing windows and doors — especially at dawn and dusk.
