06/16/2003: "Dead birds in Jeffco being tested for West Nile"
GOLDEN - Experts are predicting that the West Nile Virus outbreak will be worse this year than last.
“Typically the second year is worse than the first year,” said Craig Sanders, environmental protection supervisor with the Jefferson County Department of Health and Environment.
Last year, a few horses and sheep contracted the virus in Jeffco. One human case also was reported, but it turned out that the person contracted the virus elsewhere, according to Sanders. (Jeffco Sentinel and TRanscript)
