molecular identification of blood-meal sources in culiseta melanura and culiseta morsitans from an endemic focus of eastern equine encephalitis virus in new york.eastern equine encephalitis (eee) virus perpetuates in an enzootic cycle involving ornithophilic mosquito vectors, principally culiseta melanura (coquillett) and avian amplification hosts. to better understand the role of cs. melanura and culiseta morsitans (theobald) in the epizootiology of eee virus, we collected blood-fed mosquitoes between 31 may and 15 october 2004 at two sites associated with an eee virus focus in central new york and identified the source of vertebrate blood by nucleotide ...200617172382
experimental infection of wading birds with eastern equine encephalitis virus.to study the susceptibility of wading birds to eastern equine encephalitis (eee) virus and to determine their potential as reservoir or amplifying hosts, fledgling glossy ibises (plegadis falcinellus) and snowy egrets (egretta thula) were captured in new jersey (usa) and shipped to colorado (usa) where they were experimentally inoculated with eee virus. all 16 snowy egrets and 14 (93%) of 15 of the glossy ibises inoculated became viremic with moderate titers, and all survivors developed neutrali ...19958592381
