The Vermont Department of Health says mosquitoes captured in multiple towns across southern Vermont have tested positive for West Nile virus.
Mosquitoes in Rockingham, Brattleboro, Putney and Newbury have all tested positive for the virus.
In addition to the state's earlier finding that the virus was in St. Albans, officials warn that mosquitoes carrying West Nile are probably widespread in the state.
"Finding mosquitoes in Windham and Orange Counties is a reminder that West Nile virus is likely present in every part of the state," the department said in a release.
There haven't been any reported cases of West Nile in humans this year, but the department urges caution - especially in late summer - to prevent mosquito bites.
