Samples collected from West Roxbury and Hyde Park are the first to test positive for West Nile Virus in Boston this summer.

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

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.
