MADISON (AP) - Health officials say two people in eastern Wisconsin have died of West Nile virus. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services says Thursday that a third person in that state also has been hospitalized because of the mosquito-borne illness.  West Nile virus is commonly spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. While most people don’t experience symptoms, about 1 in 5 can develop a fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea or rash.
