Mosquitos with West Nile virus have been detected in Mississauga: city | CBC News

High-risk groups include individuals over the age of 50 and those with weakened immune systems. Recommendations for residents include staying indoors during peak times, using DEET or Icaridin, wearing light-coloured clothing, eliminating standing water, and securing screens on windows and doors.
