Eastern equine encephalitis has appeared in several more locations in the city, Debbie George, city spokeswoman, said.
The areas include Pleasant Hill, Regency Estates, Sleepy Hole Park, Lake Kennedy, Woodlands of Nansemond, Driver, Boston, Kilby Shores and Cove Point.
The city confirmed several positive tests for EEE on June 28. Charles Abadam, superintendent of Mosquito Control, said then that citizens should protect themselves while engaging in outdoor activities and stay inside during times of greatest mosquito activity. EEE is a mosquito-borne disease that can cause mild flu-like illness, severe illness, coma or death.
No human or equine cases of EEE have been reported in the city, George said. Mosquito control operations have been intensified.
