First Human West Nile Virus Case of 2024 Reported in Beadle County

PIERRE, S.D. – Today, the South Dakota Department of Health confirmed the first human West Nile virus (WNV) case of the 2024 season in a resident of Beadle County. South Dakota has reported more than 2,843 human cases and 53 deaths since WNV was first reported in 2002.

“West Nile virus is an infection most commonly spread through mosquito bites,” said Dr. Joshua Clayton, state epidemiologist. “The rate of severe infection that includes swelling of the brain and spinal cord with symptoms of stiff neck, confusion, and muscle weakness is highest in South Dakota and other Midwest states. Raising awareness of human cases can ensure residents and visitors alike take action to reduce their risk.”
