State health officials say West Nile virus has been confirmed now in eight Indiana counties.

The Indiana State Department of Heath said Wednesday that positive samples have been found in mosquitoes in Allen, Wabash and Wells counties in northeastern Indiana; Marion, Hamilton, Morgan, and Shelby counties in central Indiana; and Perry County along the Ohio River.
