T1 - Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis and 2 Human Deaths, Peru T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2010 VL - 16 IS - 3 SP - 553 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Studies have suggested that enzootic strains of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) subtype ID in the Amazon region, Peru, may be less pathogenic to humans than are epizootic variants. Deaths of 2 persons with evidence of acute VEE virus infection indicate that fatal VEEV infection in Peru is likely. Cases may remain underreported.
