Carlos Varas, a Miami-Dade County mosquito inspector, sprays around homes in the Wynwood area of Miami on Aug. 2. Officials originally said locations of mosquito traps could not be released due to privacy concerns during an active investigation. ( Emily Michot / Tribune News Services )MIAMI—The first Zika-infected mosquitoes to be trapped on the U.S. mainland were caught in residential South Beach neighbourhoods, Miami-Dade County officials announced Wednesday. The disclosure of four locations outside the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, which was previously identified as a breeding site for Zika-carrying mosquitoes, has been the subject of a recent dispute between state and local officials. Miami Beach is currently the state’s only active Zika transmission zone, but additional infections are being investigated elsewhere in Miami-Dade County, according to the health department.
