    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Virology
    • Arthropod-borne Viral Diseases
    • Equine Neurology

    Background:

    • Arthropod-borne encephalitides are critical neurotropic viral infections affecting horses.
    • Key diseases include Venezuelan encephalitis (VE), eastern encephalitis (EE), western encephalitis (WE), and Japanese B encephalitis.
    • These viruses can also cause encephalitis in humans.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the epidemiology and control of major arthropod-borne viral encephalitides in horses.
    • To highlight the distinct transmission cycles and host roles in different encephalitis viruses.
    • To underscore the potential for geographic expansion of these diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on equine encephalitides.
    • Analysis of disease outbreaks and control measures, such as vaccination and insecticide use.

  • Comparison of transmission cycles (mosquito/horse vs. bird/mosquito).

    • Main Results:

    • Venezuelan encephalitis (VE) epidemics are maintained by a mosquito/horse cycle, with horses experiencing high viremia.
    • Eastern encephalitis (EE) and western encephalitis (WE) are maintained by a bird/mosquito cycle, with horses as dead-end hosts.
    • Vaccination and vector control were effective in managing a VE outbreak in Texas.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective control of equine encephalitides relies on understanding their specific transmission dynamics.
    • Vaccination and integrated vector management are crucial for preventing and controlling outbreaks.
    • The potential for geographic spread necessitates ongoing surveillance and preparedness for arthropod-borne diseases.
