"EEEV is a rare but serious disease transmitted to people by infected mosquitoes," a statement from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services said. "DHHS offers our sympathies to the individual's family and friends."
Massachusetts said Monday that 10 communities in the state have been raised to "high" or "critical risk" for EEE, and the state is spraying for mosquitos in parts of Plymouth and Worcester county this week.
"We believe there is an elevated risk for EEEV infections this year in New England given the positive mosquito samples identified," state epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan said in a statement. "The risk will continue into the fall until there is a hard frost that kills the mosquitos."
