Three crows and one blue jay tested positive for the disease. They were found in Douglas, Ashland, Jackson, and Outagamie counties. So far, the state has collected 340 birds and tested 24. The number of human cases of West Nile has dropped steadily over the past four years. Only seven cases were reported in Wisconsin last year, and no reports have been filed this year. This disease is spread by mosquitoes. To prevent the virus, state experts recommend draining water from pool and hot tub covers, repairing damaged screens, and using strong insect repellents.
