Mosquitoes are testing positive for the West Nile virus in Louisville's Highlands and Tyler Park neighborhoods.

Mosquito fogging, a preventative measure to decrease infection and the bug’s population, will take place later this week after West Nile was detected in bugs in a surveillance trap.

The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) is warning residents of diseased mosquitoes. According to a notice dated Tuesday, July 8, a surveillance trap in the Tyler Park neighborhood and nearby areas of the Highlands reportedly uncovered mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus.
