Palm Beach County, FL
Alert ID: 346
October 25, 2016
On October 24, a new WNV case was confirmed in Palm Beach County, Florida. The donkey had no vaccine history and was imported from a Louisiana auction into Florida on October 16 with no clinical signs. Clinical signs began on October 18 and currently the donkey is recovering. This is the first confirmed WNV case in Palm Beach County and the second confirmed case in Florida for 2016. Given the travel history and incubation period for WNV, the donkey most likely did not acquire WNV in Palm Beach County.
