According to 10news.com 10 more dead birds found around San Diego County, including Carlsbad, have tested positive for the West Nile Virus.
We are finding more evidence of the virus in urban areas rather than rural and mountain areas,” said Gary Erbeck, director of the DEH. “West Nile virus is a preventable disease,” he said. “You should protect yourself by using insect repellent, as well as inspect your backyard each weak for mosquito breeding areas.”
If you find dead birds in your neighborhood you can report them by visiting the county’s www.SDFightTheBite.com website.
