On Thursday, the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District said they found mosquitoes in Anoka and Carver counties with West Nile virus.

The New Mexico Department of Health is urging people to take precautions against the West Nile virus. According to NMDOH, there are no reported cases of West Nile virus so far in New Mexico, but recent rainfall may have left standing water where mosquitoes breed.

Most West Nile cases in Colorado happen between July and September, though mosquitoes can live until the first snow or hard freeze.
