    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary epidemiology
    • Arbovirology
    • Disease ecology

    Background:

    • Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) is a serious mosquito-borne viral disease affecting equines and humans.
    • Understanding the ecological dynamics of EEE virus is crucial for effective disease control and prevention strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize research and surveillance data on EEE virus circulation in Florida from 1955 to 1974.
    • To identify the endemicity, seasonal activity, and primary mosquito vectors of EEE virus in Florida.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of historical research and surveillance program data.
    • Analysis of EEE virus isolation records from mosquito populations.
    • Geographical and temporal mapping of EEE virus activity.

    Main Results:

    • EEE virus is endemic in Florida's freshwater swamps and waterways.
    • The virus exhibits year-round activity with a seasonal peak from May to August.
    • Culiseta melanura was identified as a primary vector, with isolations from eight additional mosquito species.

    Conclusions:

    • EEE virus maintains a persistent enzootic cycle in Florida's aquatic ecosystems.
    • The identified mosquito vectors and seasonal patterns provide critical insights for public health interventions.
    • Continued surveillance is essential for monitoring EEE virus activity and mitigating transmission risks.
