a-rose,

There is always something out there to cause fear. The question is, do we choose to live in fear? Personally, I choose to not live in fear.

Newly found virus kills West Nile mosquito

By JEFF NESMITH

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

WASHINGTON -- By figuring out what caused mosquito larvae living in polluted Florida water to become ill, government scientists have isolated a virus lethal to the insects that spread West Nile fever.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently received a patent on a way to use the virus as a mosquito control pesticide and is looking for a private partner to bring the new technology to market. An official said it likely will be at least two years before any commercial use is possible.
