VALE, Ore. — Oregon's first case of West Nile virus has been detected in a crow in Malheur County in southeast Oregon, public health officials said today.
Oregon had been among a few states where West Nile had not yet surfaced.
Nationwide, West Nile infected more than 9,300 people last year, killing 244, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's more than double the number of cases reported in 2002, although fatalities remained steady. The higher case numbers may be due to increased surveillance, the CDC said.
