Boston. A second dead crow infected with the potentially lethal West Nile virus has been discovered in Massachusetts, prompting health officials to prepare a campaign of pesticide spraying. The bird was discovered yesterday in the Boston suburb of Hopkinton. The day before, a dead crow was found in the Boston neighborhood of Jamaica Plain. No human cases of illness relating to the virus have been reported. The West Nile virus is generally carried by mosquitoes that contract the disease from infected crows. The virus killed seven people in New York last year. |
