2. Mosquito Update: The town of Lexington has provided an update on mosquito borne illness. While there have been no reported human cases of West Nile Virus (WNV) or Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in Lexington, WNV has been detected in mosquitoes from Lexington and neighboring communitites and the risk continues to be high in the fall as WNV-infected mosquitoes persist until the first hard frost. EEE, meanwhile, has not been found in mosquitoes in Lexington or any adjacent communities, but it has been found in mosquitoes as close as Reading and Sudbury. More information is available on the Mass. DPH information page.
