West Nile Virus -- United States
Several cases of West Nile virus are now being reported in animals across New York, and local animal owners are being asked to vaccinate their horses. According to the state Department of Agriculture, 5 horses got the disease, including one in Canandaigua. An exact location was not given, but the horse is recovering.
A Monroe County resident died earlier this month from the virus.
Public-health officials say the risk will continue through the 1st heavy frost.
