🚨 WEST NILE VIRUS DETECTED IN BUDA 🚨
Hays County Development Services (HCDS) Mosquito Surveillance Program has received confirmation from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) that a mosquito trap sample collected in the 78610 ZIP code has tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV). The positive sample was collected from a site in Buda on July 30, 2026. This is the fifth West Nile Virus-positive mosquito pool reported by Hays County during the 2026 season. At this time, no human cases of West Nile Virus have been reported in Hays County.

Help protect yourself and your family by remembering the 3 Ds:
