| update: venezuelan equine encephalitis--colombia, 1995. | during september 1-october 12, 1995, a total of 12,403 patient visits for venezuelan equine encephalitis (vee) were reported from la guajira state, colombia. the actual number of incident cases, estimated from epidemiologic surveys, may exceed 45,000. this report updates the ongoing investigation of this outbreak (1). | 1995 | 7565561 |
| epidemic venezuelan equine encephalitis in la guajira, colombia, 1995. | in 1995, the first venezuelan equine encephalitis (vee) outbreak in colombia in 22 years caused an estimated 75,000 human cases, 3000 with neurologic complications and 300 fatal, in la guajira state. of the state's estimated 50,000 equines, 8% may have died. an epizootic ic virus, probably introduced from venezuela, was rapidly amplified among unvaccinated equines. record high rainfall, producing high densities of vector aedes taeniorhynchus, led to extensive epidemic transmission (30% attack ra ... | 1997 | 9086137 |
| genetic variability and heterogeneity of venezuelan equine encephalitis virus vector ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus (diptera: culicidae) populations of the colombian atlantic coast, based on microsatellite loci. | in colombia, the mosquito ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus has been identified as an efficient vector of the epidemic-epizootic venezuelan equine encephalitis virus. we evaluated the genetic variability and heterogeneity of this mosquito in colombian populations using eight microsatellite dna loci. two hundred and ten mosquito specimens collected from seven populations of the colombian atlantic coast (san bernardo del viento, coveñas, cartagena, barranquilla, ciénaga, dibulla, and riohacha) were anal ... | 2009 | 19866436 |
