According to KETK and the Longview News-Journal, the virus so far has been blamed for the deaths of three East Texans and more than three dozen other Texans.   A morning and evening spray schedule began August 27, but this week\u2019s spraying is scheduled to take place only during the early morning hours. That news came after state health officials Friday reported no new confirmed cases of West Nile were found in Gregg and several surrounding counties. Statewide, however, the number of cases was continuing to climb.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas Department of State Health Services said Friday no new cases had been confirmed since Wednesday in Gregg, Harrison, Upshur, Rusk, Panola, Smith, Cass, Camp, Titus or Van Zandt counties. Two new cases were reported in Bowie County in far Northeast Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Fogging resumed from 4:00 to 6:00am Tuesday. However, city spokesman Shawn Hara said, crews may fog at other times if needed.  If crews cannot spray on a particular morning because of weather conditions, they may have to spray the next night, he said. That means residents should be prepared for city crews to fog anytime in any neighborhood without notice.  Director of Development Services Kevin Cummings said that despite the intense spraying, city crews were continuing to find West Nile virus-carrying Culex mosquitoes in traps placed around the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONGVIEW &#8212; Longview city crews resumed citywide mosquito fogging this morning as the region\u2019s response to a record-breaking outbreak of West Nile virus continues.
