Nation Colorado reports 44th death from West Nile virus Thursday
DENVER — A 71-year-old man who died last month was the 44th Colorado resident to die from West Nile virus this year, health officials said Thursday.
The state health department reported 166 new human cases on Thursday, bringing the statewide total to 2,336.
The newest cases were infected by the mosquito-borne disease in late August through mid-September, state epidemiologist John Pape said.
The danger of new infections from mosquito bites is over for the season because mosquitoes that carry the virus have switched from blood to nectar meals as they prepare for winter.
