More mosquitoes that can carry Zika found in Windsor
All of the mosquitoes were found in a single mosquito trap in the Windsor region
Two more mosquitoes that could carry the Zika virus have been trapped in the Windsor region.
They have not tested positive for Zika.
The two new mosquitoes are the same species found in the region about a week ago — the Aedes albopictus, also known as Asian Tiger Mosquito.
All of the mosquitoes were found in a single mosquito trap.
Officials with the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit say the insects might have established a breeding ground around the trap.
Residents should not be concerned about contracting Zika, explained Dr Wajid Ahmed, the health unit's associate medical health officer.
"As far as the risk for Zika, there is no risk still at this point," he said. "And we don't think that's going to change in any way in terms of the risk to Canadians, as well as any changes in the testing needs for Canadians."
The health unit continues to investigate and will keep trapping and testing mosquitoes until temperatures drop.
