First human case of West Nile virus reported in Windsor-Essex, health unit says
The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) has reported its first human case of West Nile virus of 2025. That's slightly later than last year, when the first human case appeared in July, according to the health unit's infectious disease dashboard. It's a reminder for Windsor-Essex residents to protect themselves from mosquito bites, the health unit said. "It is important for everyone to eliminate any standing water around their property and take personal protective measures to avoid mosquito bites even as we approach the cooler fall months," said Dr. Mehdi Aloosh, medical officer of health for Windsor-Essex. West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Some people experience no symptoms, but others can experience fever, headaches, nausea, vomiting, body aches, skin rashes and swollen lymph glands. Symptoms usually begin between two and 14 days after transmission. People over the age of 50 and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of severe disease. The health unit offered the following tips for avoiding mosquito bites: Apply insect repellents that are approved by Health Canada, and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat when outdoors. Light-coloured clothing is best as mosquitoes tend to be attracted to dark colours. Limit the time you spend outdoors at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. Remove any standing water in places such as bird baths, buckets, old tires, pet water dishes and gutters around your property. Make sure that door and window screens fit securely and are holes-free. Call 311 or your local bylaw enforcement for standing water observed in your community. The health unit recorded seven human cases of West Nile virus in the county in 2024, according to its dashboard. That was the highest number since 2018, when it recorded 13 cases; it recorded 20 in 2017. Its year-to-month five-year average is just 2.4 cases.
