MANTECA — Eggs of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, commonly known as the “yellow fever” mosquito, have been discovered in Manteca for the first time.
The pesky bloodsucker continues to grow in population across San Joaquin County, first detected in West Stockton, Ripon, Escalon, and South Stockton.
They aren’t your average mosquito, and the San Joaquin district says you should call them right away if one bites you.
“This is a very fearless mosquito, and they are very aggressive biters,” said Omar Khweiss, General Manager for San Joaquin County Mosquito and Vector Control District.
