ANGOLA - Mosquitos carrying the West Nile virus have been found once again in Steuben County, Indiana.

One pool of mosquito groups collected in the northwestern region of Steuben County on August 19th by the Steuben County Health Department have tested positive for the West Nile virus. However, to date, there have been no reported human cases of West Nile virus in the county.

Despite the cooling temperatures we have been experiencing at dawn and dusk, mosquitoes will remain active above 60 degrees, and the risk of biting is still present. The possibility of a human contracting West Nile virus will persist until the first hard freeze.
