Mosquito Search For West Nile Virus

NILES, IL - AUGUST 7: Eric Chovanec, a field operator with the Northwest Mosquito Abatement District, displays a collection of mosquito larvae from a catch basin August 7, 2002 in Niles, Illinois. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control, state health departments across the country have documented 89 cases of West Nile virus in humans this year, including five deaths. The most recent fatality was confirmed August 6 by public health authorities in Louisiana, where all five deaths this year have occurred. In most cases, West Nile offers few if any symptoms, and the human immune system fends off the virus on its own. But in other cases, it can go from mimicking a cold or flu to a fatal brain swelling known as encephalitis. Those 50 or older or those with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to the virus, said Dr. John R. Lumpkin, Illinois' public health director. (Photo by Tim Boyle/Getty Images)
