West Nile Virus Reemerges as Mosquito Tests Positive in Houston Subdivision

A painful and somewhat deadly virus carried by mosquitoes has resurfaced in a Houston suburb. The West Nile virus has been tested positive in a mosquito trapped at a new construction site in Sugar Land, just on the west side of Houston.

And it's just in time for a full summer of heat, humidity and threatening hurricanes.

It also comes as the world tries to shoo away the COVID-19 coronavirus that lurked all of 2020 and most of 2021 so far.
