WEST NILE VIRUS & RABIES
SURVEILLANCE
Spring kicks off the Lake County General Health District's annual West Nile Virus and Rabies Surveillance programs. The public is encouraged to contact the Health District to report if you see a dead bird that was not a victim of a cat, noting the location, date of observation, and species, if known. Dead birds are no longer collected for testing, but may be placed in a bag with gloved hands or a shovel and thrown away in the garbage. Eliminate mosquito breeding grounds by eliminating standing water in your yard and by emptying any containers that might hold water.

Reports of ill, strange-acting or dead carnivorous mammals, such as raccoons, foxes, skunks and coyote should be called into the Health District. Dead animals will be picked up by the Health DIstrict for rabies testing. The Health DIstrict may be reached by calling (440) 918-2543.
