California CDPH confirmed the first death in 2021 due to West Nile infection. However, he did not say when the man died nor did he give other news. "It appears that the infection occurred while traveling outside the country to an area where mosquitoes infected with infection are local," the department said. Thomas J. Aarakon, head of CDPH, said more cases of catastrophic infections could be transmitted to animals and humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. "The activity of the West Nile virus is increasing in the region, so I appeal to the people of California to take all possible precautionary measures against mosquitoes," he explained. According to CDPH, the hot temperature is increasing the number of mosquitoes and increasing the risk of infection spreading to humans.
