West Nile Virus can be deadly — but only one in five people who are infected by a mosquito bite will develop any symptoms, according to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. Here's what to look for. BY ASHLEY JEAN REESE
西尼罗河病毒是致命的，但是根据南卡罗来纳州卫生和环境控制部门的说法，只有五分之一的人被蚊子叮咬后会出现任何症状。
A new invasive mosquito taking root in the Sacramento region during a busy year for West Nile virus has local vector officials on the lookout ahead of the Labor Day weekend.
在西尼罗河病毒肆虐的一年里，一种新的入侵蚊子在萨克拉门托地区生根发芽，这让当地病媒官员在劳动节周末之前开始警惕。
The mosquito Aedes aegypti was spotted for the first time this week in Elk Grove and in Orangevale, said Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District officials, joining known breeding grounds in the Arden Arcade area and in Winters in Yolo County. Vector district officials reported the first sightings of the invasive mosquitoes in 2019 in Citrus Heights.
萨克拉门托Aedes蚊子和病媒控制区官员说，本周在埃尔克格罗夫和奥兰治维尔首次发现Aedes蚊，他们加入了雅顿拱桥地区和约洛县温特斯的已知繁殖地。病媒区官员报告称，2019年在柑橘高地首次发现了入侵蚊子。
The sightings come as West Nile virus activity has been, in officials’ words, “steady and widespread” in both Sacramento and Yolo counties.
用官方的话说，西尼罗河病毒在萨克拉门托和约洛两县“稳定而广泛”地传播。
To date in Sacramento and Yolo counties, 127 mosquito samples and 89 dead birds have tested positive for the virus which can cause a variety of serious symptoms and can prove fatal.
迄今为止，在萨克拉门托和约洛县，127个蚊子样本和89只死鸟的病毒检测呈阳性，这种病毒可导致多种严重症状，可能致命。
“We are heading into the time of year where these mosquitoes are the most active and we need your help to control them,” said Gary Goodman, manager of the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District. “We still have a few weeks before the summer season officially ends, so it’s very important for everyone to do their part and stay protected, especially as we head into the holiday weekend.”
“我们即将进入一年中这些蚊子最活跃的时候，我们需要你们的帮助来控制它们，”萨克拉门托-Aedes蚊子和病媒控制区经理加里·古德曼(Gary Goodman)说。“离夏季正式结束还有几周的时间，所以每个人都要做好自己的工作，保护好自己，这一点非常重要，尤其是在我们即将迎来假日周末的时候。”
The invasive species that can also carry yellow fever has also recently been spotted in Sutter County, north of Sacramento. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were detected in Yuba City in August, Sutter-Yuba Mosquito and Vector Control District officials said.
最近在萨克拉门托北部的萨特县也发现了这种可以携带病毒的入侵物种。萨特-尤巴蚊子和病媒控制区官员说，今年8月在尤巴市发现了Aedes蚊。
The small, dark mosquitoes lay their eggs above water in small containers such as bird baths, pet dishes and flower pots, but can also lay eggs in items as small as a bottle cap.
这种体型小、颜色深的蚊子将卵产在水面上的小容器中，比如鸟类浴盆、宠物盘子和花盆，但也可以将卵产在瓶盖大小的物品中。
The new sightings concern vector officials, who say the invasive mosquitoes can transmit viruses including Zika and dengue.
这一新的发现让病媒官员感到担忧，他们说这种入侵的蚊子可以传播包括寨卡和登革热在内的病毒。
Vector district officials say they will step up surveillance, setting up traps, conducting door-to-door inspections to hunt down breeding sites and talking to residents about preventative measures they can take to keep the mosquitoes at bay.
病媒区官员说，他们将加强监测，设置陷阱，挨家挨户检查，寻找滋生地点，并与居民讨论他们可以采取的预防措施，以阻止蚊子。
This year, 26 cases of West Nile have been reported statewide as of Monday, state health officials reported, including the year’s first death due to West Nile virus in San Luis Obispo County in July. Health officials there said the person likely contracted the virus while traveling in a county where West Nile-infected mosquitoes are common.
据州卫生官员报告，截至周一，全州共有26例西尼罗河病毒感染病例，其中包括今年7月在圣路易斯奥比斯波县发生的本年度首例西尼罗河病毒死亡病例。那里的卫生官员说，这名男子可能是在一个西尼罗河蚊子很常见的县旅行时感染了这种病毒。
More than 300 people in California have died from the virus since 2003, according to the California Department of Public Health.
据加州公共卫生部(California Department of Public Health)统计，自2003年以来，加州已有300多人死于该病毒。
The July case was also the first case of West Nile reported in 2021, San Luis Obispo County health officials said at the time.
圣路易斯奥比斯波县卫生官员当时表示，7月的病例也是2021年报告的第一例西尼罗河病毒病例。
No human cases have been reported this year in the four-county Sacramento region of El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties.
今年在埃尔多拉多、普莱塞、萨克拉门托和约洛四县的萨克拉门托地区没有报告人类病例。
But Sacramento and Yolo counties have accounted for more than half of the 155 dead birds that tested positive for the virus with 89 birds, according to the state Department of Public Health.
但据州公共卫生部(Department of Public Health)的数据，萨克拉门托(Sacramento)和约洛县(Yolo)的禽鸟死亡病例超过了155只，其中89只呈阳性。
Twelve California counties have reported human West Nile virus cases led by Butte County with eight reported cases.
加州有12个县报告了人类感染西尼罗河病毒的病例，以布特县为首，报告了8例病例。
