(1998))

17 West Virginia DHHR OEPS Tick Survey Results Single Ixodes scapularis from human patient in Randolph County (November 2012) Two Ixodes scapularis from human patient in Tucker County (January 2013) One Ixodes scapularis from human patient in Hampshire County (January 2013)

18 West Virginia DHHR OEPS Tick Survey Results Gulf Coast Tick (Amblyomma maculatum) from veterinary clinic in Monongalia County Ixodes scapularis from veterinary clinic in Monongalia County Ixodes scapularis from deer captured in Hampshire County Ixodes scapularis from veterinary clinic in Kanawha County (NOTE: We do not know the travel history of animal patients)

19 Mosquitoes & Public Health Loss of blood Allergic response to mosquito bites Annoyance Disease Transmission

20 Mosquito-borne Arboviral Surveillance Species Humans Mosquitoes Dead birds Horses Viruses WNV SLE (St. Louis encephalitis) EEE (Eastern equine encephalitis) LAC (La Crosse encephalitis)

21 Mosquito Surveillance Regular mosquito trapping from May through September Mosquitoes tested for pathogens Culex spp. tested for WNV and SLE Non-Culex spp. tested for WNV, LAC, SLE, and EEE

22 West Virginia DHHR OEPS Mosquito Survey 2012 Active adult mosquito sampling from May 23 through September 18 Regular sampling from counties with different amounts of LAC human cases (as shown in (Haddow, Bixler & Odoi (2011)) Weekly samples from Nicholas, Fayette, and Raleigh counties (high incidence of LAC) Weekly samples from Kanawha, Wood, and Roane counties (low incidence of LAC)

23 West Virginia OEPS DHHR Mosquito Survey 2012 Semi-regular sampling in other counties Mercer, Harrison, Clay, and Putnam counties Sampling conducted from local volunteers Cabell, Wayne, Boone, Tyler, Braxton, Webster, Brooke, Jefferson, Monroe, and Hardy counties

24 West Virginia DHHR OEPS Mosquito Survey 2012 Standardized gravid trap and CO 2 trap Mosquitoes tested for pathogens (WNV, LAC, SLE, EEE) by West Virginia DHHR Office of Laboratory Services

25 West Virginia DHHR OEPS Mosquito Survey 2012 Send updates on vector-borne disease activity

26 West Virginia DHHR OEPS Mosquito Survey LAC Human Cases 10 WNV Human Cases 2 Travel-Associated Malaria Human Cases 1 WNV Bird

27 West Virginia DHHR OEPS Mosquito Survey mosquito pools with 12,864 mosquitoes 281 mosquito pools were positive for WNV 18 of 19 counties with mosquito pools positive for WNV No mosquito pools positive for LAC, SLE or EEE

28 Minimum Infection Rate (MIR) (per 1000 Mosquitoes) West Virginia DHHR OEPS Mosquito Survey 2012 WNV activity in mosquitoes peaked during the first week of July (Week 27), much earlier than expected WNV Minimum Infection Rate (MIR) in Culex pipiens/restuans by Week in West Virginia Week

29 Minimum Infection Rate (MIR) (per 1000 Mosquitoes) West Virginia DHHR OEPS Mosquito Survey 2012 WNV activity in mosquitoes peaked during the first week of July (Week 27), much earlier than expected 600 WNV Minimum Infection Rate (MIR) in Aedes albopictus by Week in West Virginia Week

30 West Virginia OEPS DHHR Mosquito Survey 2012 Health alert sent immediately to local health partners

31 Number of Mosquito Pools West Virginia OEPS DHHR Mosquito Survey 2012 Although abundant, Culex restuans/pipiens has a low WNV infection rate Prevalence of WNV in Mosquito Species in West Virginia 350 Positive WNV Mosquito Pools Negative WNV Mosquito Pools Mosquito Species

32 West Virginia OEPS DHHR Mosquito Survey 2012 Anopheles crucians represents a new mosquito state record for West Virginia Found in Wood and Nicholas counties WNV has been isolated from this species in West Virginia

33 Summary We are beginning to understand the distribution of ticks in West Virginia Ixodes scapularis, the tick species associated with Lyme disease and anaplasmosis, is found beyond the eastern panhandle

34 Summary Blacklegged ticks from Lyme disease endemic regions of West Virginia are infected with B. burgdoferi (and A. phagocytophilum) Blacklegged ticks from areas in West Virginia not historically associated with Lyme disease are not infected with B. burgdorferi (or A. phagocytophilum) Continue to determine distribution of ticks and prevalence of human disease in the tick population

35 Summary La Crosse encephalitis is the predominant mosquito-borne disease in West Virginia Highest human incidence of West Nile encephalitis in West Virginia occurred this year (2012) WNV activity in mosquitoes peaked in July, much earlier than previous years Although abundant, Culex restuans/pipiens has a low infection rate
