Mosquito Monitoring for West Nile Virus

Vector Index Log

The vector index tell us the relative risk of West Nile virus transmission. The vector index is based on the:

Total number of Culex Pipien and Culex Tarsalis – the species that carry West Nile virus
Number of infected mosquitoes across an area. The vector index is calculated by determining the average number of infected mosquitoes collected per trap in an area.
Emergency spraying may be recommended when the vector index is at 0.75 or higher.

NOTE: “—” indicates a single pool was submitted for that zone that tested positive, therefore we were unable to calculate an infection rate or vector index for that zone.
