Show Notes
Drought in Chatham County significantly reduces mosquito breeding sites, leading to fewer mosquitoes and a slower virus spread. However, the heat and dryness attract birds carrying West Nile Virus to remaining water spots, increasing virus risks among birds. Urban growth adds more small breeding areas near roads and homes, where virus levels tend to be higher. Officials monitor the situation closely, ready to adjust as weather patterns change.
