New from the District in October: San Mateo County’s
First West Nile Virus Detection in 2020, Welcoming Our New
District Manager, and a Note from Departing Manager Dr. Chindi
Peavey
If you’ve been grocery shopping less frequently, cooking from
scratch, and keeping more food at home lately, you’re not alone -
and you might not be alone in your kitchen, either. Stored foods
can become infested by several species of moths and beetles,
collectively known as pantry pests.
Today (Oct. 1st) the District laboratory collected
mosquitoes in the area where
a dead crow infected with West Nile virus was found earlier
this week. These mosquitoes have all tested negative for West
Nile virus.
