WEST NILE INFECTED MOSQUITES FOUND IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY
Community Meeting Set To Discuss Possible Ground Fogging to Control Adult Mosquitoes
SAN JOSE, CALIF.—West Nile virus (WNV) infected mosquitoes have been detected during on-going surveillance in Santa Clara County (the County) late last week. The Santa Clara County Vector Control District (VCD) detected the positive mosquitoes after setting traps in an area where two WNV positive crows were found last week. The positive mosquitoes and birds were found in the area around Prospect Road and Johnson Ave. Although these are not the first WNV positive birds found in the County, this is the first indication of WNV infected mosquitoes this year. If more infected mosquitoes are detected in this area ground fogging to suppress adult mosquitoes will occur. Seven (7) WNV positive birds have been found in the County, four (4) within or bordering the “area of concern”.
A community meeting has been planned to bring residents up to date on WNV in the area, as well as District plans regarding ground fogging for adult mosquitoes, if surveillance deems it necessary. The meeting will occur Wednesday July 5, at 7:00 pm at Lynbrook High School on 1280 Johnson Ave., San Jose. A mailer has been sent to approximately 15,000 residents in the affected area.

People might feel a bit less worried this summer if a safe, reliable treatment already existed for West Nile virus encephalitis. We believe one does.
We published our initial results with 8 WNV patients in July, 2004 in a peer-reviewed medical journal, Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry. We’re now up to 22 patients; 19 have shown a rapid clinical response, for an 86% treatment success rate. Interestingly, our approach also works for people long after they've gotten WNV encephalitis and are still suffering the after-effects, like paralysis or overwhelming fatigue.
We think our approach may be useful prophylactically, i.e. to prevent getting sick in the first place, but we have no real evidence on this yet.
Because our approach may be good for most viruses, it was included in the Project BioShield II Act of 2005 (see Section 2151, "Report to Congress," of S. 975, available at: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s109-975. Scroll down to p. 295).
Anyone can download our free protocol from our website, http://www.genomed.com at any time by clicking on "WNV Trial" and following the directions. Just show the protocol to your doctor to get started on it.
