SD&G horse tests positive for EEEV An unvaccinated horse in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glen- garry has tested positive for the Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV). The virus is normally found in wild birds but can occasionally spread to horses and humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes. While a vaccine exists for hors- es, there is none for humans. Therefore, the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) is issuing a reminder to everyone to take precautions against mosquito bites. “Al- though there’s never been a reported human case of Eastern equine encephalitis in Ontario, it’s a very serious disease at all ages and can even cause death. For this reason, we urge all residents to protect themselves against mosquito bites,” said Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, medical o#cer of health for EOHU. “The Health Unit moni- tors mosquito pools for West Nile virus and EEEV, and surveillance is being inc- reased as a precaution.”There have been no positive pools yet in 2014, however Dr. Roumeliotis points out that most cases occur in late summer and early fall, and reminds residents that mosquitoes remain active until the "rst frost.
