EEE, mosquito-control meetings this week

The culiseta melanura mosquito
is linked to the spread of EEE.

Officials from the Vermont Health Department and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture will meet with area residents twice this week to discuss deadly mosquito-born illnesses, such as Eastern Equine Encephalitis, as well as state and regional mosquito-control measures. The first such informational meeting was held at Whiting Town Hall on Nov. 15. (Click here for a summary of the discussion.) This week, the panel moves on to Brandon and Sudbury:

• Otter Valley Union High School in Brandon, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 7-9 p.m.
• Sudbury Town Hall in Sudbury, Thursday, Nov. 29, 7-9 p.m.
