The low temperatures Friday night into Saturday possibly killed off mosquitoes in the Litchfield area. The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station said it will have a better idea when it collects data there later this week. It said EEE-carrying mosquitoes generally have a flight range of 2.5 to 5.5 miles. As of earlier this week, mosquitoes in the following towns tested positive for EEE: Bethany, Chester, East Lyme, Groton, Haddam, Hampton, Killingworth, Ledyard, Lyme, Madison, Middlefield, North Stonington, Old Lyme, Plainfield, Shelton, South Windsor, Stamford, Stonington, Voluntown, Waterford Even if people do not live near one of the 20 towns identified, the CAES continued to urge them to be cautious. The state saw unusually high activity for the rare mosquito-borne virus this year.
