Mosquitoes
The City of Revere is part of the Northeast Massachusetts Mosquito Control & Wetlands Management District.
Mosquitoes carry two viruses that impact human health. Learn more about WNV (West Nile Virus) here. Learn more about EEE (Eastern Equine Encephalitis) here.
Climate change is expected to affect the geographic and seasonal patterns of mosquito-borne diseases in the United States. The northeast is experiencing an increase in precipitation and unusually hot temperatures. Since EEE is more prevalent in wetter years and WNV in hotter years the likeness of our area experiencing EEE and/or WNV events in any given year is possible, in some years both viruses can present substantial risk.

Ticks
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Northeastern U.S. sees higher levels of tick-associated diseases like Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan virus disease. Because of this, Revere community members should know the signs and symptoms of common tick-borne diseases and how to prevent tick bites.
