Abstract
Snakes harbor Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), apparently accounting for how this virus survives during cold winters, according to Thomas Unnasch and his collaborators at the University of Southern Florida in Tampa and also at Auburn University in Auburn, Ala. The viruses emerge to cause a surge in EEEV infections during summers, when mosquitoes transmit the virus, mainly to horses but also to humans. “So far, we've shown that snakes have the circulating virus,” he says. “We need to confirm the rest of the cycle.”
