A mosquito sample that was collected the week of 8/3-8/7 in Mansfield borough has tested positive for Jamestown Canyon Virus.

The risk of Jamestown Canyon Virus (JCV) transmission is still relatively low, but it is recommended that residents take the precautions listed below:
• Stay indoors during peak mosquito hours
• Dusk to Dawn
• Wear long sleeves, pants, and closed-toed shoes if possible
• Exposed skin may be at risk for biting mosquitoes
• Wear bug spray
• Specifically bug spray containing at least 30% DEET
• Remove all standing water from your property
• Birdbaths, wheelbarrows, and children’s toys can hold water which can breed mosquitoes.
• Extra surveillance is currently being conducted in the JCV affected areas as well as larval and adult mosquito control measures. Educational opportunities are available if borough staff and/or residents are interested.

See the additional information on Jamestown Canyon Virus in this post. And for more information on this positive mosquito sample, the following link will lead to the updated Vector Management webpage, as well as a map of the state where other mosquito samples have been found. https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dep/programs-and-services/bureau-of-labs/vector-management/mosquitoes

As always, Jolie Coates, the Mosquito & Tick Program Coordinator for Bradford and Tioga Counties, is available by email ([email protected]) and phone (570-485-3144 ext. 3119), if you have any questions. She will be out and about in Mansfield borough this week and will be conducting extra surveillance the rest of this week.
