Fourteen strains of eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus were isolated from Aedes albopictus mosquitoes collected in Polk County, Florida. These are the first isolations of an arbovirus of proven public health and veterinary importance from naturally infected Ae. albopictus in the United States since established populations of this introduced mosquito were first discovered in 1985. The widespread distribution of Ae. albopictus in Florida and in other areas of the United States where EEE is endemic raises concern that this species may become an epizootic and epidemic vector of EEE virus.
