Abstract
In New York City local health authorities have stepped up surveillance and ordered more insecticide spraying of neighborhoods as a response to the identification of more birds infected with West Nile virus and as more mosquitoes carrying the virus are found. It is noted that the West Nile virus has been commonly found in humans birds and other vertebrates in Africa Eastern Europe and parts of Asia but it had not been reported in the Western Hemisphere. However in July New York Citys Central Park was closed after city officials announced that infected mosquitoes were found and that insecticide needed to be administered to the 843-acre park. In addition the suburbs of Brooklyn and Queens have been listed as areas needing insecticide spraying. Moreover Nassau County announced that for the first time two dead birds infected with the virus had been found in two communities in the Long Island area. Similar findings were reported by communities in Rockland Suffolk Westchester Staten Island North Jersey and Connecticut. There have also been signs that the virus has spread from the New York metropolitan area to other East Coast cities such as Boston Massachusetts.
