According to the Louisiana Arbovirus Surveillance Summary of 2013, the goal of this surveillance report for WNV disease in humans was to describe the infection burden of the virus on the human population. Further stating that for the most part only the West Nile viruses that affect the Neuro-system are consistently reported, for every Neuro-invasive case there are approximately ten incidences of WN fever and roughly ninety totally asymptomatic diseases, estimating that only one percent of West Nile fever and asymptomatic cases are ever reported. And that it is important to report that all cases of West Nile as well as WN Neuro-invasive diseases as they are useful in monitoring disease burden and development in the West Nile Virus in human beings. http://new.dhh.louisiana.gov/assets/docs/SurveillanceReports/wnv/weekly2012/WNV_1253.pdf.
According to this government website, in the wake of the peak of mosquito season, across the nation states are stepping up to create vector control programs to mitigate the impact of the virus and to prevent a reoccurrence of 2002's lethal outbreak of WNV and in doing so the majority states have acted in response to the onset of WN by extensively spraying possibly environmentally and physiologically dangerous substances. .
But, several groups suggest various other ways of getting the virus under control, stating the by going after the breeding zones and larva, with less effort spent on spraying the mature arthropods. Most of existing state legislation tackling WN strives to form plans and appropriations for upcoming focus on the disease. http://www.serconline.org/westNile.html.
Given the opportunity to offer a plan of action I would suggest that by individuals doing simple things in their own yards like eliminating standing water which are a mosquito's haven, avoid going outside during mosquito peak hours, wearing the proper clothing. .
