EEE Found in Western Massachusetts

Public health officials in Berkshire County say they have discovered the deadly Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus in mosquito samples for the first time ever.

“It’s been tracked in Massachusetts since the 30’s, mostly in

Eastern Massachusetts, but this is the first time we’ve found it in Western Massachusetts,” Chris Horton said.

Horton is the Superintendent of Berkshire County Mosquito Control.
