Protect Yourself from Mosquito-Borne Diseases

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services announced an adult has tested positive for Jamestown Canyon virus (JCV), a viral infection transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. 

JCV is a mosquito-borne pathogen that circulates widely in North America primarily between deer and mosquitoes but can also infect humans. In addition to JCV, Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) can also be spread to people through mosquitoe bites. The arboviral risk level for cities and towns indicates the risk of transmission of mosquito-borne diseases to people. 

“Jamestown Canyon Virus and the other mosquito-borne infections can cause serious illness,” said Dr. Benjamin Chan, NH State Epidemiologist. “As summer progresses into fall, the risk from mosquito-transmitted infections is expected to increase. So residents and visitors to New Hampshire should take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, especially as people are encouraged to spend more time outdoors during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
