Mosquitoes with the West Nile virus found in Louisiana have prompted local efforts, including spraying by VDCI, to reduce populations and potential health risks.

Mosquito samples collected in Fulton County tested positive for West Nile virus, according to the Fulton County Board of Health.

The two positive test results were reported in Hapeville and northwest Atlanta. The BOH said it will work with a mosquito control vendor to eliminate mosquitoes in the areas where West Nile was detected.
