Clark County began early mosquito surveillance due to warm weather, aiming to detect disease-carrying species like Aedes aegypti and prevent outbreaks.
Mosquito surveillance in Clark County has started a month early due to warm temperatures and recent rain, prompting the Southern Nevada Health District to deploy traps in parks, wetlands, and residential areas to monitor populations and test for viruses like West Nile, Zika, and dengue.
Officials are especially monitoring the invasive Aedes aegypti mosquito, which bites during the day and can spread dangerous diseases.
Collected mosquitoes are tested at a local lab, and the public is urged to eliminate standing water, use EPA-registered repellent, wear protective clothing, and report mosquito activity or green pools to authorities.
The “Fight the Bite” campaign emphasizes early prevention to reduce disease risks.
