Excerpt:
Public health officials have upgraded 10 communities across Massachusetts to a “high-risk” status for West Nile virus. The report also identified a dozen towns as being at moderate risk of the rarer eastern equine encephalitis — also known as EEE — this year.
The areas flagged for risk of the mosquito-borne viruses include Boston. There are no vaccines for either infection.
The upgraded risk comes after a summer where over 150 mosquito samples positive for West Nile virus have been recorded across the state. To date, there have been no human cases reported in 2025.
