In Colombia, Venezuelan Encephalitis Equine virus (VEEV) is an endemic virus detected in Caribbean and Santander region, however, scarce information has evidenced about Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus complex (EEEV sensu estricto and Madariaga virus), with reports in Antioquia and Pacific region.

The phylogenetic analysis allows verified to Lineage III for Madariaga virus.
