The number of West Nile Virus cases has been climbing up another time, but the rate of increase is slow. This indicates aerial spraying last month had the desired result killing a big part of the disease carrying mosquitoes.
Presently, there are 115 people in Kern County with the disease. That’s up from 107 a week ago. But an increase of eight cases is low as against six or seven weeks ago, when the number augmented by 30% each week.
