Fox News
Health officials in Colorado reported the first confirmed human case of West Nile virus on Monday after additional human cases were announced in California and Texas.
"Mosquito populations are at historic levels in some parts of the state due to the high rainfall this year. This unusually high mosquito activity along with known presence of the virus has caused an elevated risk of West Nile virus transmission to humans," the department warned. Julia Musto is a reporter for Fox News and Fox Business Digital.
Last year, Colorado had more than 200 reported human cases of West Nile virus, including 20 deaths.
