West Nile Virus detected in mosquito sample

PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- The West Nile Virus has been detected in a mosquito sample from Pittsfield, according to the state department of public health.

Officials say the sample was collected Tuesday. They say they also found infected mosquitoes in a sample collected in Boston last week.

No human cases have been reported. Six cases were reported last year.

Health officials remind people to use mosquito repellent and wear protective clothing while outside.
