So Far, So Good: No West Nile and Triple E Cases in the Granite State

New Hampshire has not seen any evidence yet of the mosquito-borne viruses, West Nile and Eastern Equine Encephalitis, state epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan said Monday.

"We have not identified any human, animal or mosquito pool" with either EEE or West Nile, he said.

Other New England states are reporting, however.

Vermont in July reported two human cases of West Nile, according to its state health department' webpage. The virus has also been detected in mosquito pools in Rhode Island.

But, Dr. Chan added, "it's hard to predict" where the virus will turn up, and the locations will "vary from year to year."

Dr. Chan said the state posts the test results weekly on its website.
