Yes.: Yes, and more so in areas that have had warm winters, spring, and hot summers. Dallas is the prime example. It can cause a mystery illness in many, but can kill the elderly and children, or those with a weakened immune system. West nile has been found in many areas of knoxville, tn, where i live! use repellent.

The Robin: West nile virus must be produced in high numbers before being passed through mosquitoes. Birds are far and away the most frequent carriers. Robins look like they might be responsible for spread all over the country. Mosquitoes have to feed on the infected robin and then pass the virus on to human beings through a bite.
