EEE virus is a rare cause of brain infections (encephalitis). Only a few cases are reported in the United States each year. Most occur in eastern or Gulf Coast states. Approximately 30% of people with EEE die and many survivors have ongoing neurologic problems. The most effective way to prevent infection from Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus is to prevent mosquito bites. Mosquitoes bite during the day and night. Use insect repellent, wear long- sleeved shirts and pants, treat clothing and gear, and take steps to control mosquitoes indoors and outdoors Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) is a member of the genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae. Other medically important alphaviruses found in the Americas include, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Mayaro virus (MAYV), and Madariaga (MADV). EEEV has a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome. The virus particles are spherical and have a diameter of 60-65 nm. Of the four lineages of EEE antigenic complex, Group I consists of only EEEV and is endemic in North America and the Caribbean and causes most human disease cases. The other three groups (IIA, IIB, and III) are caused by related MADV (formerly known as South American EEEV) and cause primarily equine illness in Central and South America. Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) is maintained in a cycle between Culiseta melanura mosquitoes and avian hosts in freshwater hardwood swamps [Show More]
