West Nile virus is not known to be here. Our concern is that after seven to 10 days after the rain stops, we could see a large number of adult mosquitoes.

We are very concerned about the mosquitoes. We do have crews that are monitoring. We are monitoring large bodies of water and as the water recedes, we will be treating to keep the mosquito numbers down.

They can place those in ornamental ponds, they can place those in abandoned swimming pools, any area that doesn't open up to a natural body of water.

People who are cleaning up flood areas, if they have cuts and scratches they should really stay out of the water.

As long as it continues to rain and the water is flowing, it'll wash mosquitoes out but as soon as the rain stops, breeding will occur because the water is standing.

In each of these situations, demand has been negatively affected by public concern over avian influenza.
