¹A 'Pool', in this case, is a grouping of 10-60 individual mosquitoes of the same species from the same trap site. Individual mosquitoes are not tested for mosquito-borne viruses. "Pools" of standing water are also not tested for mosquito-borne viruses.
²EEE stands for the Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus.
