This is the first detection of WNV in Orange County this year. WNV has also been detected in mosquito samples and/or dead birds in four other California counties (Los Angeles, Riverside, Sacramento, and Santa Clara). Although no human cases of WNV infection have been reported yet this season in California, WNV is endemic and we expect to see cases every year. In previous years, the first WNV cases in Orange County usually had symptom onsets starting in mid-June to mid-July.
