By DRG Media Group News May 5, 2021 | 6:32 AM

The South Dakota Department of Health has set a June 1 application deadline for cities, counties and tribes to apply for state grant funds to help control mosquito populations and prevent the spread of West Nile virus.

South Dakota’s first human case of WNV was reported in 2001. Since then 2,617 cases have been identified, resulting in 46 deaths.

Individual grants range from $500 to $20,000 and are to be used exclusively for local mosquito control programs. Grant awards will be based on the population of the applying jurisdiction and its number of human cases last year (2020). A total of $500,000 is available for this grant program.

All applications are due by June 1 and funding will be available starting July 1, 2021.

To apply for the WNV Prevention grant, all eligible South Dakota city, county, and tribal officials should complete that application located here: http://westnile.sd.gov.
