1 Dallas County Health and Human Services Arbovirus Surveillance Report Week 39 ending September 29, 18 In week 38, ten mosquito traps tested positive for WNV in Culex quinquefasciatus. In week 39 to date, eight mosquito traps tested positive for WNV in Culex quinquefasciatus. Positive traps were located in the following zip codes: 754, 7588, 75149, 75181, 755, 75216, and To date, eleven human WNV cases were reported in 18. One WNV associated death was reported in 18. In 18, no travel-associated confirmed human Zika cases have been identified in Dallas County. Five pregnant women with laboratory criteria for possible Zika infection have been reported to CDC for inclusion in the US Zika Pregnancy Registry. Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti are currently circulating in the area. Table 1.
