Summary
Nashville’s health officials confirm the first West Nile virus detection in local mosquitoes this year—found near Cass Street in North Nashville. With last year’s outbreak resulting in one human case, authorities are intensifying efforts in that hotspot, since mosquitoes rarely travel far. They’re distributing mosquito prevention tips, deploying traps, and spraying larvicide to stop larvae from hatching. Residents are urged to eliminate standing water, trim vegetation, use repellent at dusk, and wear protective clothing to help curb the spread of this dangerous virus.
