The District continues to find Aedes aegypti, an invasive mosquito species to Butte County. Two new detection sites in  Oroville  and one in Chico have been discovered this week. The District is continuing its enhanced surveillance program in these areas and following the District's reesponse plan.

The public plays a critical role in helping to control the spread of this mosquito population. Aedes aegypti love to breed in small water-holding containers and prefer being in and around homes. The District is continuing its enhanced surveillance program in these areas and following the Distrcit's response plan.
