Human West Nile cases are increasing according to ArboNet and ProMedMail (see figure). The total number of cases reported nearly doubled during the last week, and a similar trend is expected in the coming weeks. However, the total number of cases this year is significantly reduced compared to last year, and there were only two fatalities so far this year. At the same time, the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Center reported 26 West Nile-positive birds in Ontario. Nebraska, Nevada and Ohio reported their first confirmed human West Nile cases this year in the last few weeks.
