West Bridgewater, MA (WCVB/CNN) - Mosquitoes are causing a health concern in the Boston area.

Officials are spraying again Monday after mosquitoes infected with Eastern Equine Encephalitis, or Triple-E, were found.

It is a potentially deadly virus.

Health officials say there are things residents can do to protect themselves.

Keep your pets indoors, close your windows turn off air fans, if you have ornamental fish ponds, cover them up.

Massachusetts officials say no human cases of Triple-E have been reported this year but there were two cases last year.
