Eastern Equine Encephalitis -- United States
Officials in Florida have reported the 20th case of eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in a horse in 2016. The 11-year-old Quarter Horse mare from Sumter County was last vaccinated for EEE in late summer 2015 per the owner and had no recent travel history.
Clinical signs began on [13 Aug 2016] and the horse was euthanized for humane reasons later the same day.
EEE causes inflammation of the brain tissue and has a significantly higher risk of death in horses than West Nile virus infection.
