Evolutionary influences on the reduction in enzootic circulation and human incidence of western equine encephalitis
… activity, or submergence, must also be studied. Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) provides a unique case study on how submergence can be understood by observing evolutionary and ecological factors. WEEV caused several epizootic events in the early 20th century that account for the death of …

Transmission of western equine encephalitis virus by Saskatchewan mosquitoes and behavior of the virus in selected laboratory vertebrates in relation to epidemiological studies
For laboratory experiments on transmission of Western equine encephalitis (WEE) virus by Saskatchewan mosquitoes, a local virus isolate of human origin, strain 1540-1544 Regina 66, was selected. The half-day old chick which was used as the principal vertebrate host in these experiments, showed a …

Behavioral Ecology and Associated Virology of Mosquito-Host Interactions in Southern California
… (genus Crotalus) for West Nile virus and western equine encephalitis, but positive for a flavivirus presumed to be St. Louis encephalitis in 10% of the 40 sampled snakes. This unexpected finding constitutes the first likely report of St. Louis encephalitis virus in any reptile, and …

Characterization of a Newly Identified Alphavirus, Eilat Virus
… Phylogenetic analyses placed EILV basal to the western equine encephalitis antigenic complex within the main clade of mosquito-borne alphaviruses. Electron microscopy revealed that, like other alphaviruses, EILV virions are spherical, 70 nm in diameter, and they bud from the plasma membrane of …
