Figures above include both confirmed and probable human cases.

St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) is a mosquito-borne illness similar to West Nile virus.

* Mosquito pools are samples drawn from mosquito traps statewide. Positive mosquitoes in a pool indicate that WNV is active among mosquitoes in the area.

Visit the Mississippi Board of Animal Health for more statistics on West Nile virus and Eastern Equine encephalitis.
