Mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus have been discovered in Fremont County. The bugs were discovered between Hudson and Lander. Fremont County Weed and Pest assistant supervisor Nancy Pieropan said she was not aware of any cases in humans or horses, which also can contract the virus. Riverton officials say they do not expect the city to change its mosquito spraying program because West Nile has not been discovered in Riverton. Residents are advised to drain standing water around their homes, such as bird baths or decorative ponds.
