The northeastern United States is facing rising concerns regarding Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), following the confirmation of the first human case in New York state in nearly a decade. A resident in Ulster County has tested positive for the mosquito-borne virus, marking the first occurrence since 2015. Additionally, New Hampshire has reported a second human case, intensifying the public health response across the region. Experts warn that climate change may be contributing to a higher frequency of EEE outbreaks. Health officials are advising residents to take precautions against mosquito bites and consider vaccinations for both EEE and the West Nile virus. With mosquitoes testing positive for the virus in various locations, including Oswego County, local and state health departments are stepping up efforts to combat this emerging threat.
