Eastern Equine Encephalitis
Washington, Putnam and Polk counties, FL
Alert ID: 65
July 13, 2015
July 13, 2015-Three new cases of EEE were confirmed Washington, Putnam and Polk Counties within Florida. All three horses were adults between 5 and 7 years old and had not traveled within the past 6 months. Two of the horses were previously unvaccinated and were euthanized due to poor prognosis at time of initial exam. The third horse had been vaccinated in the past but not within the last year. The 6 year old miniature was still standing but lethargic and had cranial verve deficits according to the treating DVM. Supportive care was being given for the fifth day since clinical signs occurred. This is the first occurrence for Washington county and the second occurrence for Polk and Putnam counties for the 2015 calendar year.
