Denton County reported its first West Nile virus death of 2024 — the second local human case this year — on Tuesday.

A Dallas resident and two people in Garland have been diagnosed with West Nile.

The samples were found in the 75104 zip code in Cedar Hill.

Experts warn that new tropical viruses are headed for the U.S. – and the country should take active measures to fend them off.

Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties have reported at least six human cases of the mosquito-borne disease that can affect the central nervous system or the brain.

Mosquitoes testing positive for the West Nile virus are on the rise across North Texas, and warming temperatures could make the problem worse.

Four of the cases were found in Florida, while the fifth was logged in Texas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
