The number of confirmed human cases of West Nile virus in California rose more than 46 percent in a week as the number of people killed by the mosquito-borne illness rose from seven to nine, health authorities said Tuesday.

The two latest reported deaths both occurred in San Bernardino County, an 88-year-old man in Loma Linda and an 82-year-old man from the city of San Bernardino, the local Department of Public Health said.
