Welcome to the channel. Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) virus is a rare but serious virus that can cause brain infections (encephalitis) in humans. It is transmitted to humans primarily through the bite of an infected mosquito. The virus is most commonly found in the eastern United States. Particularly in swampy areas where the Culiseta melanura mosquito, a primary vector for the virus, resides. Music The virus is maintained in a bird-mosquito cycle, primarily involving Culiseta melanura mosquitoes and wild birds. Humans and horses are considered "dead-end hosts," meaning they do not develop high enough levels of the virus in their blood to pass it on to other mosquitoes. Music Many people infected with the EEE virus do not develop symptoms. However, those who do can experience fever, chills, body aches, and joint pain. In severe cases, symptoms can progress to encephalitis, which includes headache, disorientation, seizures, and coma. The onset of symptoms typically occurs 4-10 days after a mosquito bite. Music EEE is one of the most severe mosquito-borne diseases in the United States, with a mortality rate of about 33% for those who develop encephalitis. Survivors often have long-term neurological damage. Music There is no specific treatment or vaccine for EEE in humans, so prevention is crucial. This includes avoiding mosquito bites by using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, using mosquito nets, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak mosquito activity times. Music EEE outbreaks in humans are rare but can be severe when they do occur. Outbreaks tend to happen more frequently during the late summer and early fall. Music Due to the high mortality rate and severe potential outcomes. Public health officials closely monitor EEE virus activity and issue warnings during periods of high risk.
