Toronto Public health has recorded its first positive test this year for the West Nile Virus.
Forty-Three mosquito traps are set up across the City and are sent for laboratory testing every week.
Health Officials say this positive test is earlier in the season than previous years.
The first case of West Nile was discovered in Toronto back in 2001 but there's been no deaths reported since 2005.
