COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKRC) - Mosquitoes trapped in Ohio are among the first in the nation to test positive for the West Nile virus this summer.

West Nile is a virus typically spread by mosquito. The CDC says about 80 percent of those infected do not show any symptoms.

They were found in Licking County, east of Columbus, and in Harrison Township, north of Dayton.

The only other place the virus has turned up is in Washington state.
