The Iowa Department of Public Health is reporting the first death this year from the West Nile virus. Deputy State Epidemiologist Ann Garvey says the victim was a woman.
Garvey says they have not had many confirmed cases of the mosquito-borne disease.
When the cool fall evenings take over we also tend to forget about mosquitoes, but Garvey says cool fall nights aren’t protection against them.
