Concerns regarding mosquito-borne viruses are escalating, mainly after New York—where EEE cases are spreading beyond the usual two to three counties—reported its first fatality since 2015.
Eastern equine encephalitis, which recently claimed a life in New York, poses significant risks, with the CDC noting that 30% of severe cases can lead to death.
Without a commercially available vaccine for EEE, the health authorities are stressing the changes in mosquito activity patterns this year are alarming for public health.
Experts caution that while the majority of EEE cases are asymptomatic, severe incidents can lead to long-term neurological deficits, signifying its dangerous potential.
