The status of Aedes sollicitans (Walker) as an epidemic vector of Eastern Equine encephalitis in New Jersey is examined from available literature. Data indicate that Ae. sollicitans has met the basic criteria necessary to prove vector involvement. Virus has been isolated from specimens during outbreaks of the disease in humans and tests have shown that Ae. sollicitans can become infected and transmit the virus under experimental conditions. The blood-feeding habits of the mosquito and geographic distribution of human cases clearly reveal that Ae. sollicitans is associated with human outbreaks. Data show that Ae. sollicitans must be considered as an epidemic vector of EEE in New Jersey and should be controlled for the prevention of this disease during the season when EEE virus is active.
