Protect Against West Nile Virus

Disponible en: Español

Texas is experiencing an increase in West Nile Virus activity this year. While the number of human cases of infection in Harris County is not at the level of other parts of Texas, Harris County Public Health & Environmental Services (HCPHES) is seeing a rise of West Nile Virus circulating throughout the county in mosquitoes and birds.

In an effort to ensure that the public has appropriate prevention information and to encourage them to protect themselves, HCPHES Office of Public Information has provided the two  attached West Nile Virus documents in English and Spanish:

· Fight the Bite (English / Español)
· Protect Yourself from the West Nile Virus with the 4 D’s (English / Español)

If you would like more information about the West Nile Virus, please visit HCPHES website at www.hcphes.org and view the 2012 West Nile Virus Response webpage.
