Virus found in California for first time after 220 fish die at Nevada County lake

A virus linked to the deaths of about 220 fish at a Nevada County lake was detected in California for the first time, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife said. “This is a sobering discovery given how widely distributed largemouth bass are in California, how popular they are as a sport fish and their economic importance to our rural communities,” said Jay Rowan, the agency's fisheries branch chief, in a Thursday news release. About 220 fish, mostly largemouth bass but also some bluegill, died at Lake of the Pines in September, and tests confirmed the presence of largemouth bass virus, officials said. The virus does not pose a health risk to humans or other warm-blooded animals, the agency said. Officials had not determined how the virus reached the lake. The virus can be introduced “from contaminated equipment, infected baitfish, stocking infected largemouth bass and introducing other carrier species that are infected.” The virus poses no health risks to people who eat infected fish or swim in or drink infected water, the agency said. The agency urged residents to help prevent the virus from spreading by avoiding the transfer of fish between bodies of water and cleaning, draining and drying

Republican Hoover concedes Sacramento-area Assembly seat to Democratic challenger

Assemblymember Josh Hoover, R-Folsom, on Tuesday conceded to his Democratic challenger Amy Slavensky in the race for a Sacramento County statehouse seat. Hoover had declined to concede Friday after Slavensky declared victory for the 7th Assembly District. His concession came after Sacramento County released its latest vote totals. Slavensky had 53.2% of the vote as of Tuesday afternoon. “I just called my opponent to congratulate her on her victory,” Hoover said on X. “While there are still many ballots left to count, our team no longer sees a viable path to closing the gap like we did when we flipped this seat in 2022.” Hoover said it has been the “honor of a lifetime” to serve the area in district — which includes Folsom, Fair Oaks and Rancho Cordova — in the Assembly. The seat was one Democrats were eager to wrestle back. Slavensky will be part of what is expected to be a widening Democratic supermajority in the Legislature. She has worked 40 years in California public schools as a teacher, principal and superintendent, according to her campaign website. She said her campaign knocked on over 16,700 doors, engaged 400 volunteers and sent 150,000 texts. “I thank the hundreds
