The dangerous West Nile virus (WNV) continues to be detected in mosquito and bird populations in the San Gabriel Valley and one Pasadena resident is known to have contracted the virus this tear, a city health official said.
Manuel Carmona, Acting Director of the Pasadena Public Health Department, said that as of September 9, there have been 11 human West Nile vims cases reported in Los Angeles County, including one in Pasadena.
Mosquito control experts are advising residents to remove stagnant water due to the early September rain. The stagnant rainwater sitting in containers can result in a risk of mosquito-borne diseases in the community.
City officials said that if residents notice any stagnant water issues in their community, they can submit a tip online or call 626-814-9466.
