An Australian mosquito capable of transmitting viruses to humans and heartworm to dogs was found in the San Gabriel Valley, the LA Times reported.
Aedes notoscriptus, nicknamed Aussie Mozzie, was first found in June at Monterey Park’s city yard, said Jason Farned, spokesman for the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District. Another specimen was found at a Montebello home in August.
