Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), also called triple E and sleeping sickness, is a viral disease caused mainly by the Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV).Most infections in humans are asymptomatic, but about 5% of the time the infection progresses to severe neuroinvasive disease.
Divergence between the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus and the eastern equine virus appears to have been ~1400 years ago. [15] The fish infecting clade appears to be basal to the other species. The southern elephant seal virus appears to be related to the Sinbis clade.
Health officials in Massachusetts are warning about the risk of contracting Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEE) after a person developed the mosquito-borne disease earlier this month.
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

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]
