However, the area's largest homeless service provider, Loaves & Fishes, said the numbers don't add up. Executive director Angela Hassell says the organization's data shows a 6.4% increase in guests served and a 20.5% increase in meals served. Hassell believes sweeps of homeless encampments resulted in mistrust and hiding. Yellow fever mosquitoes found in Rocklin – Aedes aegypti, or yellow fever, mosquitoes have been found in Rocklin.
