Just like how you might already know about popular bands like The Beatles or BTS, there are also lesser-known musical groups that deserve attention. In the mosquito world, West Nile virus is like the superstar band that everyone talks about. But there’s also a new and rare virus called Jamestown Canyon virus (JCV) that’s starting to gain recognition in the United States. It’s like the up-and-coming indie band that has a small but dedicated fan base. Health officials in Connecticut have already identified cases of JCV transmission through mosquito bites, raising concerns among researchers and the local population.
