The State Mosquito Management Program has identified mosquitoes that have tested positive for West Nile virus in twelve CT towns. So far the virus has turned up in Bridgeport, East Haven, Fairfield, Glastonbury, Greenwich, Manchester, New Haven, Norwalk, Plainfield, Stamford, Stratford and Westport.
