The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) today (Friday) announced the first case of West Nile virus infection reported in 2019, an older adult (aged 61 years to 80 years) male from Audubon County who has since recovered.

Iowans should take the following steps to reduce the risk of exposure to West Nile virus:
In 2018, 104 Iowans were diagnosed with West Nile virus and nine Iowans died. For more information on West Nile virus, visit https://www.idph.iowa.gov/cade/disease-information/west-nile-virus.
