- West Nile precautions: After two birds infected with West Nile virus were found on the Stanford campus near the corner of Mayfield Avenue and Santa Ynez Street recently, Santa Clara County's Vector Control office trapped and analyzed mosquito populations in various areas on campus and determined that no West Nile virus was present in the mosquito population, the primary vector for West Nile transmission to humans.
