The first dead bird in the North Bay infected with the West Nile Virus this year was found in Sonoma County, officials said Friday.
The dead American crow was found in the area of South McDowell Blvd. and Casa Grande Rd. in Petaluma, according to the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District.
The district said staffers will continue to trap, test, and monitor the abundance of adult mosquitoes in the area where the positive dead bird was found. The district is also reviewing all documented sources of mosquito production and searching for new sources. Since 2003, there have been more than 7,000 human cases of West Nile virus and 300 deaths in California, and the virus is almost always spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, according to the state Department of Public Health.
