4 cases of West Nile virus reported in the Valley. What to expect this summer

The Arizona health department has reported four cases of West Nile virus so far this year, although it’s still early in the season. That’s a far cry from 2021, when Maricopa County experienced the biggest outbreak of the virus ever reported in an American county.

Michael Riehle, a professor in the Department of Entomology at the University of Arizona, joined The Show to talk about what to expect later this summer.
