(Bartlett, TN) Soccer practice stopped early at the fields behind City Hall Tuesday night in Bartlett.

The young players began spraying themselves with mosquito repellant after getting the warning of West Nile Virus being found in mosquitoes in Bartlett.

Mother Angie Ragland was worried about her seven-month-old daughter Addison, who she brought out to watch her big sister play soccer, "This is the first time I brought her out here."

Scientists at Memphis Shelby County Vector Control study mosquitoes around the area and say they've found ones infected with West Nile in Bartlett, North of Summer Avenue and in Southwest Memphis.

"I wouldn't call it an explosion, but we're going to see a rapid increase and a persistence of the virus in the neighborhoods, and we'll see it for a longer period of time," said Dan Sprenger of Vector Control.

Sprenger said the mosquitoes carrying West Nile usually swarm at night, and that's when you should take the most precautions, and make sure you wear some type of repellant.
