Wyoming Confirms Three Cases of West Nile This Year

The Wyoming Department of Health has confirmed three cases of West Nile virus in the state so far this year. Health Department spokeswoman Kim Deti says the agency confirmed cases in Fremont, Albany and Goshen counties. The Fremont County case was the most serious this season because the symptoms included encephalitis. Last year, Wyoming recorded six human cases of West Nile with no deaths. In 2009, the state had 12 human cases with one death.
