Tulsa Health Department sampling detects mosquito West Nile virus

 


Officials from the Tulsa Health Department confirmed on Friday that samples of mosquitoes from traps in Tulsa County were tested positive for West Nile virus.

According to THD, there are no confirmed cases of the virus in Tulsa County this year, but authorities are urging residents to continue to take the necessary precautions against West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne diseases.

THD operates a nationally recognized mosquito surveillance program that traps various locations throughout Tulsa County and tests weekly samples of collected mosquito-borne diseases.

According to the Department of Health, July-October is usually the month with the highest risk of exposure to the West Nile virus in Oklahoma.

THD recommends the following precautions to prevent mosquito bites.

  1. Items such as buckets, cans, pool covers, flowerpots, and tires are dumped and drained from retaining standing water so that there is no place for mosquitoes to breed.
  2. Use insect repellents, including DEET or other CDC-approved repellents, on exposed skin and clothing when going outdoors, especially during mosquito bites during dusk and dawn. (Use insect repellents containing permethrin only on clothing.)
  3. Wear loose, light-colored long sleeves and long trousers.
  4. Repair or install window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home.
  5. Encourage your friends and neighbors to throw away the trash, drain it, and use repellents.
  6. Regularly clean the leaves and debris from the gutter to prevent clogging.

To file a mosquito complaint in your area or report a pool or stagnation, contact the Tulsa Health Department (918-582-9355) or the online environment on the THD website. Please submit a complaint form. www.tulsa-health.org
