University Park Boy Has West Nile Virus

|

Several streets and alleys in the north-central portion of University Park were sprayed last night, after the county’s Health and Human Services Department said a boy who lives in that neighborhood tested positive for the West Nile virus. A news release from the city says the boy has flu-like symptoms but has not been hospitalized.

The city began its systematic ground-spraying schedule on April 1. This ongoing effort includes all streets, alleys, and parks, as well as all interior streets on the SMU campus.
