A sample of the mosquito population in Larimer County tested positive for West Nile virus. They were found in the southeast area of Fort Collins. This marks the beginning of heightened risk for residents, especially as warmer weather leads to increased mosquito activity throughout the region. So far this year, no human cases of West Nile virus have been reported in Larimer County.

Mosquito Control
Larimer County does not currently run its own mosquito control program. However, many local municipalities work with Vector Disease Control International (VDCI) to manage mosquito control in their areas. We are fortunate to partner with VDCI to help monitor and control mosquitoes in Larimer County. VDCI runs a local mosquito surveillance program. They map possible mosquito breeding sites and use light traps to track mosquito activity throughout the season.
The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment (LCDHE) is raising awareness about the importance of MMR vaccination due to measles outbreaks globally and in surrounding states. While there are no current cases of measles in Larimer County, the county’s Medical Officer, Dr. Paul Mayer, urges residents to check their MMR vaccine status now.
