{{Template:ClickGreenLinks}}


Human Eastern Equine Encephalitis is rare, with only a few cases reported in the USA each year. However, 30% of patients die, and there is no vaccine for humans and no specific medication. Many survivors have ongoing neurologic problems. The virus is spread by the bites of mosquitos that fed on infected animals.<ref name="eeev-cdc">[https://www.cdc.gov/easternequineencephalitis/index.html Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus overview at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention].</ref><ref name="eeev-wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_equine_encephalitis Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus article in Wikipedia].</ref>
