West Nile Virus Test Results Revealed At Hatboro Little League Field

HATBORO, PA —The Montgomery County Department of Public Health has been conducting additional tests at the Hatboro Little League Field following a recent positive test for West Nile Virus.

The county informed Hatboro officials Thursday morning that all additional samples came back negative.

It was the second mosquito to test positive for the West Nile Virus within the past month.

Borough Manager Diane Hegele told Hatboro Borough Council at its recent meeting that she was informed that the mosquito was found at the Hatboro Little League Complex off Blair Mill Road.

Late last month, Horsham Township officials said that a positive West Nile Virus mosquito sample was collected at Deep Meadow Park.

Many communities in Montgomery and Bucks County are being sprayed for the West Nile Virus with mosquitoes out and about in the early evening hours.

The West Nile Virus is most commonly spread through the bite of an infected mosquito, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash.

There are no vaccines to prevent or medicines to treat West Nile virus disease (West Nile) in people.
