No human cases of West Nile virus disease have been detected in 2020; however, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) expects to see increased West Nile activity throughout the state as the mosquito season progresses. <\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Indiana experienced an outbreak of another mosquito-borne disease, eastern equine encephalomyelitis (EEE). This outbreak caused one fatal human case, 14 horse cases and one positive mosquito sample in Northern Indiana. Although there has been no EEE virus activity in Indiana so far this year, health officials want Hoosiers to remain cautious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile spending time outside can reduce your risk for COVID-19, it can increase your risk for mosquito-borne diseases,\u201d said State Health Commissioner Kristina Box, M.D., FACOG. \u201cHoosiers in all parts of the state should take precautions to prevent mosquito bites whenever they are outdoors.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>State health officials recommend the following preventive measures:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are active (especially late afternoon, dusk to dawn and early morning);<br \/>\n\u2022 Apply an EPA-registered insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-menthane-diol to clothes and exposed skin;<br \/>\n\u2022 Cover exposed skin by wearing a hat, long sleeves and long pants in places where mosquitoes are especially active, such as wooded areas;<br \/>\n\u2022 Install or repair screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of the home. <\/p>\n<p>Even a container as small as a bottle cap can become a mosquito breeding ground, so residents should take the following steps to eliminate potential breeding grounds:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Discard old tires, tin cans, ceramic pots or other containers that can hold water;<br \/>\n\u2022 Repair failed septic systems;<br \/>\n\u2022 Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers left outdoors;<br \/>\n\u2022 Keep grass cut short and shrubbery trimmed;<br \/>\n\u2022 Clean clogged roof gutters, particularly if leaves tend to plug up the drains;<br \/>\n\u2022 Frequently replace the water in pet bowls;<br \/>\n\u2022 Flush ornamental fountains and birdbaths periodically; and,<br \/>\n\u2022 Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with predatory fish. <\/p>\n<p>West Nile virus can cause West Nile fever, a mild form of the illness, which can include fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph nodes or a rash. Some people develop a more severe form of the disease affecting the nervous system, including inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, muscle paralysis or even death. <\/p>\n<p>While rare, EEE virus can cause serious illness and has a fatality rate of around 33 percent in humans. Many people who recover experience serious and permanent complications. <\/p>\n<p>Symptoms of EEE include chills, fever, body aches and joint pain. Some people develop a more severe form of the disease affecting the nervous system, causing encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).<\/p>\n<p>People who think they may have WNV or EEE virus should contact their healthcare provider.<\/p>\n<p>To see the latest results of ISDH\u2019s mosquito surveillance, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/gis.in.gov\/apps\/ISDH\/Arbo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/gis.in.gov\/apps\/ISDH\/Arbo\/<\/a>.
