Eastern equine encephalitis virus (family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus) can cause disease in poultry, game birds, and wild birds. Neurological disease is the most common clinical outcome; however, this virus also may result in decreased egg production and myocarditis.

Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEE) is an arbovirus which is a mosquito-borne virus. It circulates between bird reservoir hosts and mosquitoes. Most infected animals and people have inapparent infections, but EEE can cause mortality in some species of birds such as pigeons, pheasants, and emus.

Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), or triple E, is a virus caused by a bite from an infected mosquito. You may have a fever, muscle aches and feel nauseated. Severe cases can be life-threatening or cause permanent brain damage.
