The West Nile virus (WNV) surveillance program is a component of the Division of Environmental Health which is funded by the Vector Control and Surveillance Grant provided by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
The Division of Environmental Health conducts surveillance activities by operating gravid traps designed to capture WNV-positive Culex mosquitoes throughout Kankakee County. Surveillance activities begin late spring and continues until late fall. Mosquitoes are collected twice a week and regularly tested for WNV. Past and present WNV surveillance data can be found here
