The city of Frisco has announced a ninth resident has tested positive for West Nile virus, resulting in plans to spray for mosquitoes in another area of the city. The case was confirmed by Collin County health authorities.
Ground spraying will take place in an area bordered by Panther Creek Parkway, the railroad tracks, Research Road and Legacy Drive two nights in a row. A map of this area can be seen here.
City of Frisco officials urge residents to practice four precautionary steps outlined by Texas Department of State Health Services commonly referred to as the "Four D's." These precautionary steps are: drain all standing water, dress in long sleeve clothing when outdoors, use mosquito repellants containing DEET, and avoid outdoor activities during night and early morning hours when mosquitoes are most active.
