A total 45 rodents have been found in routinely monitored traps this year in comparison to 21 in 2010. 

An infected deer mouse and vole were found in south Chula Vista, said Supervising Vector Ecologist Chris Conlan.

"It doesn't matter if you're in the East County or around the beach," he said "whether you live in a suburban area or near an undeveloped lot you probably have deer mice in the area."

Infected rodents in the wild pose little risk for example if you're hiking or riding your bike, officials said.

Only one San Diego County resident has contracted the disease in recent years.
