Can any mosquito spread EEE to people?
No. In Connecticut, there are 49 different mosquito species. Since 1996, EEE virus has been isolated from mosquitoes in Connecticut every year except 1999, usually during September and early October. The virus is generally maintained by an exclusive bird-biting mosquito called Culiseta melanura, but has been found in nine other mosquito species in Connecticut, six of which are known to bite people.
