Equine encephalosis virus is an Orbivirus, and as such encodes 4 non-structural and 7 structural proteins derived from 10 linear dsRNA genome segments. [6] The smallest of those genome segments, segment-10, encodes the NS3 protein, which allows the release of the viral particles from the infected cell. [4]
The outbreak caused about 11,390 febrile cases in humans as well as 16 deaths. About 500 equine cases were reported with 475 deaths. [7] [1] An outbreak of this disease occurred in Colombia in September 1995. This outbreak resulted in 14,156 human cases that were attributable to Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus with 26 human deaths. [8]
It was shown to be distinct from virus strains isolated from horses in California, now known as Western equine encephalitis virus. [2] [14] [16] Madariaga virus was first identified in 1936 from a horse in Argentina. [14] The first human cases were identified in 1938 in Massachusetts, during an outbreak with 38 human cases and 248 horse cases.
An alphavirus of the family Togaviridae, the WEE virus is an arbovirus (arthropod-borne virus) transmitted by mosquitoes of the genera Culex and Culiseta. [2] WEE is a recombinant virus between two other alphaviruses, an ancestral Sindbis virus-like virus, and an ancestral Eastern equine encephalitis virus-like virus. There have been under 700 ...
The person died in Ulster County after being infected with the EEE virus that spreads from horses to humans via mosquito bites. First eastern equine encephalitis virus human death hits NY. What to ...
A human case of Eastern equine encephalitis was identified in Massachusetts for the first time since 2020. Now the state's public health department is ringing the alarm in multiple communities to ...
Equine encephalitis is a family of horse diseases that also affect humans. Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain. Several forms of viral encephalitis can infect equines, and these include: Eastern equine encephalitis virus; Japanese encephalitis virus; Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus; Western equine encephalitis virus; West Nile virus
About 2 in 10 people infected with West Nile virus develop symptoms, which can include fever and swelling of the brain. About 1 in 10 people who develop severe symptoms die. There have been 216 ...
