TL;DR: Prevalence of IgG against yellow fever virus, West Nile virus, tick-borne encephalitis virus, dengue virus serotypes 1-4 (DENV1-4), and chikungunya virus across Kenya in 2000-2004 is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular epidemiological studies of veterinary arboviral encephalitides.
TL;DR: Most equine arboviral pathogens, including EEEV, WEEV and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), occur in a naturally virulent enzootic state and require only appropriate ecological conditions to cause epizootics and epidemics, however, VEE epIZootics apparently require genetic changes to convert avirulent enzyme strains into distinctEpizootic serotypes.
