BOSTON (AP) — The eastern equine encephalitis virus has been discovered in mosquitoes for the first time this year in Massachusetts, health officials said
EEE was confirmed by the Massachusetts State Public Health Laboratory in a mosquito sample collected July 1 in the town of Orange in Franklin County, officials said Friday
No human or animal cases of EEE have been detected so far this year, officials said
There were 12 human cases in Massachusetts in 2019 with six deaths
There were also nine cases in domestic animals
Public Health Commissioner Monica Bharel said the state has been preparing for a resurgence of EEE
Surveillance will help health officials determine how quickly the virus might emerge this year
