Wendy Monaghan, the Grundy County Public Health Manager, said that the species of mosquito that is responsible for the virus (Aedes mosquito) is found in tropical regions, and can’t survive in the colder climate of the Midwest, so the risk of contracting Zika Virus in Grundy County would be very little to none.

“It was pretty cool to know that we got two of only fifty,” said Marty Rouse, owner of Rouse Motor Company, where the Jeeps ended up. “We were the only dealer in Iowa that got any, and no other dealer that I know of got more than one.”
