West Nile Virus (WNV) –
- One New Positive WNV Sample in Mosquito Adults
- Results from the five adult samples collected 20 August came back Friday, 23 August; one of the five samples tested positive for WNV from the Utah Public Health Laboratory in Salt Lake City.
- The risk for becoming infected can be influenced by time spent outdoors and decisions on whether to adopt personal precautions against mosquito bites.
- Please continue to protect yourselves with an EPA-approved mosquito repellent.
New Moab Mosquito Abatement District (MMAD) Communication Policy

Fogging
- If/when we need to fog to control the vector mosquito flying population, this information will be posted on our Facebook page.
- There, we will post the day, time of evening/night and planned fogging route.
Other
- We have not received as many dead bird calls since our last PSA on 20 August. Please continue to let us know if you find dead birds.
