Public Health Experts Concerned Over Number of West Nile Cases in Ontario

Hits

Experts are concerned with the amount of West Nile Virus cases in Ontario this year.  Public Health Ontario says there are about 80 confirmed or probably cases in the province so far.  Experts are warning that there may be even more people with the disease but don't know it.  West Nile has a long incubation period, which makes it harder to detect symptoms right away.  Back in 2002, there were about 185 confirmed cases, which makes it the worst year in Ontario for West Nile.
