Local News for University of Rhode Island

Mosquitoes infected with deadly virus found on U. Rhode Island campus

University of Rhode Island students may now have more than just the H1N1 virus to worry about. Forty-six different mosquito species reside in Rhode Island, and two mosquito pools of the Culex species at URI's Peckham Farm have recently tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) virus. EEE is rare in the environment - generally only a few cases are reported in the U.S. annually - and it has a very high mortality rate.
