With all of the media coverage coupled with the onset of spring, CCOHS' Inquiries Service has been receiving numerous questions about West Nile Virus. People have also been asking where to report dead birds (particularly crows, blue jays, gray jays, magpies and ravens) that may have been infected by bites from mosquito infected with West Nile Virus.
