The presence of West Nile virus was confirmed in a mosquito sample taken from a trap in Fort Collins on June 5. This is the first positive sample in Larimer County and in Colorado for 2009. Though earlier than most years, this confirms that mosquitoes in Larimer County could be carrying West Nile virus now. It's time to take precautions against being bit.
