Abstract
Abstract : Epizootic strains of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus (Alphavirus, family Togaviridae) cause serious disease in horses and humans throughout the 'New World' tropics and subtropics (WALTON & GRATSON, 1989). Although various mosquito species serve as vectors of this virus during epizootics, recent experimental evidence has indicated that ticks may be involved in the maintenance cycle (LINTHICUM et.al., 1992). With the rapid expansion of air between the Americas and Africa and Europe the potential for importation of VEE virus into the 'Old World' poses a threat to immunologically naive human and equine population
