The 519 donors accounted for 1,023 potentially infectious blood products.

In an effort to control West Nile virus in Modesto, officials said Tuesday they will spray for mosquitoes later this week in Village I in the city’s northeast section and around two parks in the city’s northwest.
The announcement came as Stanislaus County health officials confirmed the county’s sixth human case of West Nile infection this year.
Due for early morning spraying Thursday and Friday, officials said, are Village I subdivisions along Merle, Floyd and Sylvan avenues, west of Claus Road; plus Muncy Park off Prescott Road south of West Rumble Road, and Davis Community Park at College Avenue and West Rumble Road.
