Information provided by the San Joaquin County Mosquito & Vector Control District

Mosquito populations have increased as the weather has gotten warmer and this can cause concern for some residents. Please be advised that the Aedes aegypti mosquito (although a major nuisance in our County right now) does NOT pose a health risk as it has not been documented to carry virus and/or disease in this region.
