What Does VEE Stand For?
VEE stands for Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis
VEE, or Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis, is a viral disease primarily affecting horses, but it can also infect humans and other animals. The disease is caused by the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), which is transmitted through mosquito bites. VEE is characterized by neurological symptoms, including fever, depression, and in severe cases, encephalitis. It is of significant concern in veterinary medicine and public health, particularly in regions where the virus is endemic. Vaccination and vector control are key strategies in preventing outbreaks.
