West Nile Virus (WNV) has been identified in a mosquito during routine surveillance in the southeast section of Sudbury. WNV has now been identified in 21 of the 25 towns that participate in the Eastern Middlesex Mosquito Control Project. There has only been one confirmed case of human West Nile Virus in Massachusetts this year. As a result, there are no increased health alerts and no scheduled truck mounted spraying. Surveillance is ongoing and any new information will be posted.
The Board of Health encourages all residents to read the attached advisory and adhere to the recommendations to reduce the risk of exposure to mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases.
