Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE) is a viral disease primarily affecting horses but can also infect humans. It is caused by the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, which is transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Symptoms in horses can include fever, depression, and neurological issues, while humans may experience flu-like symptoms. The disease is most common in parts of South America and Central America, where outbreaks can occur. Vaccines are available for horses, but there is no specific treatment for infected humans. Preventive measures focus on controlling mosquito populations and avoiding bites.
