*Ct, cycle threshold; LACV, La Crosse virus; MLE, maximum-likelihood estimate of the proportion of infected mosquitoes; RT-PCR, reverse transcription PCR. †All mosquitoes were collected from the field as adults except when ovitraps were used to collect eggs. Adults were reared from the field-collected eggs before testing for arboviruses. Multiple adult traps were gravid traps, carbon dioxide–emitting light traps, and BG Sentinel (Biogents AG, Regensburg, Germany) traps baited with octenol lures. ‡Pool size indicates no. adult mosquitoes tested for LACV.
