San Joaquin County (CBS13) – Mosquitoes that carry yellow fever have been detected in San Joaquin County.
Invasive species were found in the Brookside area of Stockton, according to the county’s mosquitoes and vector management area. This is the third consecutive year that this Aedes aegypti has been discovered in the prefecture.
“This is the earliest discovery of Aedes aegypti in San Joaquin County in the last three years.” The general public can prevent the spread of these invading mosquitoes by attracting daytime bites to the area. “
