State Launches Annual Mosquito Monitoring Program

(CBS Connecticut) – The state has launched its annual mosquito monitoring program. Mosquitoes are being trapped at 91 locations around the state and tested for the West Nile, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and Zika viruses.
The program began on Monday and the first test results will be available the week of June 12, said state officials.
Following a mild winter and a wet spring, West Nile Virus could be active this year, if there’s a hot and dry summer, according to Theodore Andreadis,
