The chief medical officer of health is reminding New Brunswickers to protect themselves against mosquito bites following the recent positive test of West Nile virus in three American crows found dead in the Saint John region. West Nile was last detected in New Brunswick in 2003. Symptoms of West Nile virus include fever, headache, nausea and vomiting. Horses are also susceptible to West Nile virus. Horse owners should consult a veterinarian for advice on how to protect their horses from this disease, the Health Department said.
