Eastern Equine Encephalitis, West Nile Virus, Saint Louis Encephalitis, and LaCrosse Encephalitis are mosquito transmitted diseases that may occur in this area.

Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain and the central nervous system. Since it is a virus, there is no cure, you can only treat the symptoms. Symptoms may range from mild to severe depending on the type of virus and the overall health of the individual.

With the mobile nature of our world, the threat is very real. Mosquitoes can be transported around the globe within days. In Hampton we have the vectors and diseases at a low level as they have not yet become amplified. Environmental factors such as humidity, rainfall, temperature, and season can cause an infestation and increase the chances of a disease spreading.

Yes, they certainly can. The most common disease is dog heart worm. Heart worm prevention is easy, but treatment of the disease can be very expensive. Untreated heart worms can lead to the death of the dog. Consult your veterinarian for more information on prevention and treatment.

You can eliminate areas of standing water such as clogged gutters on your house or shed, turn empty flower pots over so that they won't collect rainwater, do not let water stand on tarps or plastic covers, change the water in bird baths each week, empty wading pools, throw away empty potted plant trays, and correctly dispose of used tires. All of these measures will help control the mosquito population.
