Tests confirm West Nile virus in Denton mosquitoes

Health Officals have found signs of the West Nile virus in area lake.

Denton city leaders issued an alert Thursday after a sample of mosquitoes collected Aug. 18 from traps located near Unicorn Lake tested positive for West Nile virus.

“These are the first samples that have tested positive for West Nile virus in the city of Denton this year,” said Ken Banks, the city’s environmental services director, in a news release.
