JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - The Mississippi Department of Health
reported eight new cases of the West Nile virus on Monday.
The new cases were in Adams, Attala, Calhoun, Leflore, Madison,
Neshoba, Pontotoc and Rankin counties.
The health agency reports confirmed and suspected cases of the
West Nile virus. The state's total number of human cases is 108,
with three resulting in death.
Interim State Epidemiologist Mary Currier said although the
number of reported West Nile cases is slowing down as cooler
weather arrives, mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus are still
active.
Symptoms of West Nile virus are often mild or flu-like and may
include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, a rash, muscle weakness
or swollen lymph nodes.
