摘要：

Putative epidemic/epizootic eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus (EEE) vector populations were compared at 15 recent (1982-90) human and horse case sites in Bristol and Plymouth counties in southeastern Massachusetts. Carbon dioxide-baited American Biophysics Corporation light traps were used for trapping adult mosquitoes to estimate biting risk in these foci of known transmission. Population data suggest that Coquillettidia perturbans, Aedes canadensis, and Culex salinarius are more likely vectors of EEE in Massachusetts than Aedes vexans, Anopheles punctipennis, and Anopheles quadrimaculatus.
