It's not a hot and humid Southern town, but a cool New England city that is the country's biggest mosquito magnet, according to the Farmers' Almanac. Top 10 buggiest U.S. cities: 1. Boston, Mass. 2. Houston, Texas 3. Los Angeles, Calif. 4. Atlanta, Ga. 5. New York City, N.Y. 6. Chicago, Ill. 7. Austin, Texas 8. Dallas, Texas 9. Shreveport, La. 10. Miami, Fla. " Mosquito control districts around the country, from California to Texas to Boston, have warned that 2005 could be one of the worst mosquito seasons on record, " Dr. Karen McKenzie, a medical entomologist with the American Biophysics Corp., said in a news release announcing the findings. " When you mix a wet winter season with a warm spring and summer, conditions become ideal for mosquito breeding. " Mosquitoes can carry the West Nile virus and Encephalitis. To come up with the buggiest cities, the researchers used a number of criteria, including the " Farmers' Almanac " weather and temperature predictions; actual precipitation from September 2004 to present; mosquito population/activity estimates from local mosquito control representatives in each city; 2003 and 2004 cases of West Nile virus; number of months with average daily temperatures above 50 degrees (when mosquitoes can survive); and city populations. Actual and predicted weather conditions topped the list as the most important factors in determining this year's predictions. The top 10 buggiest runner-up cities: 11. Nashville, Tenn. 12. Jacksonville, Fla. 13. Lexington, Ky. 14. Tampa, Fla. 15. St. Louis, Mo. 16. Pittsburgh, Pa. 17. Akron, Ohio 18. Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn. 19. Portland, Ore. 20. Denver, Colo.
