Summary
Seminole County’s 42 sentinel chickens are the unsung heroes in the fight against mosquito-borne diseases, stationed across seven locations to detect viruses before they hit humans. Their blood is tested weekly, revealing whether dangerous mosquitoes are lurking—and where. Chickens are perfect for this job: they survive exposure without falling ill, giving officials a real-time map of threats. With AI now scanning mosquito samples in seconds (down from an hour), the county can respond faster than ever, deploying targeted fogging and prevention measures during peak mosquito season. So far, all tests are negative—good news for residents. Neighboring counties are doing the same, and you can learn more by visiting their website or calling them.
