The Madison County Health Department conducts active mosquito surveillance every summer in the area of Black Creek Swamp in the Town of Sullivan. Madison County looks for evidence of viruses in mosquitoes that may transmit disease to people, like Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) virus and West Nile Virus (WNV). EEE is a key mosquito-borne disease of concern to human health in Madison County. Following aerial spraying in 2014, the Health Department decided to seek feedback to understand community concerns around mosquitoes in the areas of the Town of Sullivan where the EEE virus has been detected, which is also the area of the county most affected by mosquitoes that transmit EEE. In June of 2015, Madison County Health Department surveyed residents living in this area to about their understanding and concerns about mosquitoes and mosquito control activities, and their preferred method for receiving notifications of spraying events. Includes considerations for aerial spraying.
