EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS - NORTH AMERICA (20): USA (MASSACHUSETTS) HORSE

With October only a few days away, EEE remains a threat in the Bay State. That's
the message from health officials after another horse in Massachusetts tested
positive for eastern equine encephalitis. Four people in the state have been
infected with the rare but serious and potentially fatal disease during this
busy year of mosquito-borne illnesses.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health on Thursday [26 Sep 2024]
announced a third confirmed case of EEE in a horse this year. The horse was
exposed to EEE in Carver, an area in Plymouth County that's already at high risk
for EEE.

"This latest animal case of EEE confirms that even this late in the season, the
risk for spread of EEE virus from infected mosquitoes is still present," said
Public Health Commissioner Robbie Goldstein.

"With more people going outside to enjoy the mild fall weather, we continue to
recommend that residents take steps to protect themselves from mosquito bites
until the first hard frost," Goldstein added.

There have been 96 EEE-positive mosquito samples in Massachusetts this year
[2024].

Infected mosquitoes have been found in Barnstable, Bristol, Essex, Norfolk,
Middlesex, Plymouth, and Worcester counties.

EEE is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. The last
outbreak of EEE in Massachusetts occurred in 2019-2020, and resulted in 17 human
cases with 7 deaths, and 9 animal cases.

There were no human or animal cases of EEE in Massachusetts in 2021, 2022, or
2023.

"Cooler temperatures will start to reduce mosquito activity, but people
shouldn't let their guard down yet," said State Epidemiologist Catherine Brown.
"We continue to strongly advise that everyone in areas at high and critical risk
for EEE reschedule evening outdoor activities to avoid peak mosquito biting
hours."

DPH continues to urge people to use bug spray and to wear long sleeves, long
pants, and socks when outdoors.

[EEE spread continues in much of the northeast and north central US as well as
in Canada. It's not stated if the horse in this report was vaccinated for EEE.
Annual vaccination (and boosters in areas with long mosquito seasons) is the
most effective tool at preventing EEE in horses.

The US CDC has a state and county level map available at

for those interested in a more granular view of human and non-human EEE
activity. - Mod.JH
