FREE ANIMAL DOCTOR HOLDS OPEN HOUSE

WEST NILE VIRUS POSITIVE DEAD BIRDS COLLECTED IN 
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY

Collected dead birds are amongst the first 

detections of WNV in Los Angeles County 
this year.

The San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District 
(SGVMVCD/District) has confirmed the first detection 
of West Nile virus (WNV) activity in its service area. 
The virus was detected in two dead birds, an American 
crow and unspecified songbird, collected in the city of Covina 
on May 25th.

This serves as the District’s first detection of West Nile 
virus activity, and among the first detections for Los Angeles 
County this year. Mosquito samples have not tested 
positive for the virus within the surrounding community, 
nor in the San Gabriel Val-ley. The dead bird surveillance 
program serves as an early warning detection tool that 
helps identify when the virus is actively being transmitted 
within the bird popu-lation. The two dead birds were collected, shipped, and tested at West Valley Mos-
quito and Vector Control District which provides mosquito and bird testing for the District.

“While virus activity has not been detected in mosquito populations yet, this con-firmation serves as an 
alert that mosquitoes may soon become infected in the re-gion and residents should take preventative 
measures,” said Director of Scientific Programs Tristan Hallum. “There is no cure or human vaccine for 
West Nile virus. Therefore, the best method of protection is to prevent mosquito bites.”

Since West Nile virus is endemic to the San Gabriel Valley, it is typically detected by local public health 
agencies during Summer. As warm temperatures rise overnight, an increase in mosquito populations 
and virus activity will occur. The District will continue monitoring disease activity and controlling 
mosquitoes in public spaces through routine inspections and necessary treatments.

Mosquito control is a shared responsibility. Hallum urged residents to take an active role in reducing 
the threat of WNV in their communities by taking the following ac-tions to stay healthy and bite-free:

• Tip out stagnant water around the home weekly;

• Toss unused containers that can hold stagnant water; and

• Protect against bites by using insect repellent containing any one of the follow-ing CDC-recommended 
ingredients: Picaridin, DEET, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (or PMD), or IR3535.

For more information, residents can contact the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District 
at 626-814-9466, online at SGVmosquito.org, or on social media: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.


On Saturday, 

Free Animal Doctor 
held an Open House 
for visitors at their 
Headquarters in 

Sierra Madre. Visitors 
had the opportunity 
to meet the Directors 
of the non-profit, Sam 
Bernardo and Ryan 
Boyd.

Visitors also had the 
chance to meet some 
of the beneficiaries of 
FAD's fundraising 

efforts. 

Pictured right is

Kevin's situation is 
typical of what FAD 
does.

In Kevin's case, he was 
hit by an automobile and subsequently paralyzed. Free Animal Doctor provided 
the funds to the Veterinarian who performed the corrective surgeries. 
As pictured above, Kevin is no longer paralyzed and living a normal dog's life, 
rather than die from his injuries. Free Animal Doctor is not just another animal 
shelter. Its' mission is to provide financial support to pets and their owners 
via their vets that ordinarily would not be affordable.

 The organization is not an animal shelter. It is an group that primarily provides 
financial assistance to families/pets that cannot afford extraordinary 
medical expenses. 

They would love to have your support. Go to: https://freeanimaldoctor.org/
