 | | Eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus (EEEV) has been the cause of epizootics of eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in North American horses as far back as 1831, but undoubtedly, the virus itself was present in its endemic cycle long before that (Hanson 1957, Simms 1950). | | | Prevention of EEE in equines and domestic fowl by immunization has been available for decades and is routinely practiced by responsible owners. | | | Howitt, B.

| | Moncayo AC, Edman JD: Toward the incrimination of epidemic vectors of eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus in Massachusetts: abundance of mosquito populations at epidemic foci. | | | Because EEE mimics other encephalitides, meningitis, or meningoencephalitis, empiric drug therapy for these conditions should be implemented promptly. | | | Physical: The physical examination for EEE also is nonspecific and is similar to many other encephalitides. |

| | Eastern equine encephalitis, commonly referred to as EEE, is a virus disease of wild birds that is transmitted to horses and humans by mosquitoes. | | | The virus that causes EEE cannot be passed from horses to humans by contact, body fluids or any other physical mechanism. | | | EEE is only acquired from mosquitoes that have previously fed on infected birds. |

| | EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS (abbreviated EEE), also called Eastern Encephalitis (EE), is a fatal disease of humans and horses caused by a virus which is carried by mosquitoes. | | | Unfortunately, today's testing methods are not readily available or cost effective for mosquito control programs. | | | Consequently, sentinel chickens can give a false sense of security regarding EEE or SLE activity. |

| | EEE virus is an alphavirus that was first identified in the 1930's and currently occurs in focal locations along the eastern seaboard, the Gulf Coast and some inland Midwestern locations of the United States. | | | Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is also caused by a virus transmitted to humans and equines by the bite of an infected mosquito. | | | Arboviral encephalitides have a global distribution, but there are four main virus agents of encephalitis in the United States: eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), western equine encephalitis (WEE), St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) and LaCrosse (LAC) encephalitis, all of which are transmitted by mosquitoes. |
