Western Equine Encephalitis (WEE) is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes, primarily affecting horses but also capable of infecting humans. Symptoms range from mild flu-like conditions to severe neurological issues.
Found in specific regions of North America, preventive measures include mosquito control, vaccination for horses, and personal protection in affected areas. Early detection and treatment are essential for both human and animal cases.
Western Equine Encephalitis (WEE) is primarily transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes, with Culex tarsalis being a significant vector. The virus circulates in a natural cycle involving birds and mosquitoes. Mosquitoes become infected by feeding on birds carrying the virus, and then they can transmit the virus to humans and other animals through subsequent bites.
The Western Equine Encephalitis virus (WEEV) can cause disease in humans by infecting the central nervous system. After a mosquito carrying the virus bites a human, the virus enters the bloodstream and can eventually reach the brain. Once in the brain, WEEV can cause inflammation and damage to neural tissue, leading to encephalitis, which is the inflammation of the brain.
