West Nile Virus in London

A second resident of Lambton County has tested positive for West Nile Virus, just one week after an elderly man died from the virus. The man is currently being treated and monitored in a hospital. Both individuals were probably exposed to the vius in mid-September when they may have thought the risk of exposure was lowered. West Nile Virus is becoming more prominent around the world. The elderly and young are most at risk for serious effects from the virus. Young, healthy individuals may be infected and never get symptoms.
