Following several cases of eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus in Rhode Island in 1983, a survey was conducted to evaluate mosquito populations and EEE virus infection rates in known and potential vectors. The results confirmed widespread enzootic EEE virus activity throughout the area. Culex tarsalis, a known vector of EEE and St. Louis encephalitis, was recorded in the state for the first time.
