W. Nile virus found in dead crow in Ind.
The Associated Press
               INDIANAPOLIS — A crow found dead in Floyd County in southern Indiana has tested positive for the West Nile virus, state health officials said.

        The bird is the second in Indiana to be found with the virus. Another crow found in Marion County tested positive for the virus last month.

        No human cases have been confirmed in Indiana.

        West Nile virus, which can be transmitted to humans through mosquito bites, can be fatal, especially to the elderly or those with weak immune systems.

        Indiana residents should take measures to avoid mosquito bites, including curtailing their exposure during the evening when mosquitoes are more prone to bite, said health officials.

        “Even in states where West Nile virus has been reported in humans, it has affected only a small number of people,” said state Health Commissioner Greg Wilson.

        “Human symptoms generally are mild, but this virus does have the capability of causing much more serious problems.”

        A medical entomologist will travel to Floyd County today to perform additional tests on birds and mosquitoes.
       

Panel urges keeping leaders of UK trustees
The Associated Press
               LEXINGTON — The chairman and vice chairman of the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees were nominated for another one-year term.

        In unanimously nominating Billy Joe Miles to remain as chairman and Steve Reed as vice chairman for a third year, the trustee nominating committee on Saturday cited the need for continuity.

        UK President Lee Todd has been on the job only nine weeks.

        “Billy Joe Miles and Steve Reed navigated us through some difficult waters the past two years. Now, the future is bright. Keeping that continuity for another year is something we should consider,” said Jack Guthrie, a UK trustee and committee member.

        The full board will vote on the nominees at its Sept. 18 meeting.
