West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne disease that can cause serious illness including paralysis and death, though most infected individuals remain asymptomatic; prevention focuses on eliminating mosquito exposure through removing standing water, wearing protective clothing during peak mosquito activity hours (dusk and dawn), and using DEET-based insect repellent.

Texas DSHS confirms first West Nile case of 2026Added:
Leaders with the Texas Department of State Health Services confirmed the Lone Star State's first case of West Nile virus this year. They said the infected person lives in Harris County, that's where Houston is, and developed the most serious form of the disease. And while most people who become infected never feel sick, the rare neuroinvasive form can cause paralysis and even death.
Health experts encourage Texans to protect themselves by eliminating their exposure to mosquitoes. So, dump standing water near your home, wear long sleeves at dusk and dawn, and use bug spray with DEET.
