GREENWOOD, Ind. (WISH) - The Indiana State Department of Health is warning people to be extra careful when protecting against mosquitoes.
According to John Bonsett, county health department director, the Department of Health has been trapping and testing mosquitoes from across the state. Three batches of mosquitoes collected from Johnson County have tested positive for the West Nile Virus, according to our partners at the Daily Journal .
The mosquitoes were caught near the Old Town Greenwood area in June. The department also found the virus in mosquitoes from Tipton, Hamilton, Henry, Putnam, Clay, and Marion Counties.
Tests have found that the virus has been found in Johnson County mosquitoes in past years as well.
