State health officials say Georgia is on a pace to record its worst West Nile virus season in years. That would be a trend to match the rest of the nation. An official says federal money the state has received to test mosquitoes for the virus has been cut in half this year. Two Georgians have been confirmed as infected with the West Nile virus. Officials say a 52-year-old resident of Johnson County, southwest of Macon carries the virus. A 57-year-old resident in metro Atlanta’s Gwinnett County has also been confirmed as carrying West Nile.
