*WNV, West Nile virus; CI, confidence interval; MIR, minimum infection rate. †Significant difference between 5- to 17-year-old and 18- to 64-year-old patients (p<0.02). ‡Significant difference between 5- to 17-year-old and >65-year-old patients (p<0.01). §Reference 9. ¶Stratum 1 included neighborhoods with at least 9 reported human cases, a WNV case rate >4.5/10,000, and mosquito MIR >15/1,000. #Stratum 2 included neighborhoods with at least 1 reported human case, a WNV case rate <4.5/10,000, and varying levels of MIR (0–54/1,000). **Stratum 3 included neighborhoods with no known human cases and varying levels of MIR.
