Summary
More than a dozen Orange County cities now have mosquitoes that tested positive for West Nile virus, prompting an intensified response from the county's mosquito control district.
Street-by-street inspections in specially equipped passenger-side jeeps are one of several tools the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District is using to track and curb the mosquito population.
The latest report spotlights the district's broader field operation and staff members carrying out that work as officials try to keep the virus from spreading further across the county.
