Equine Encephalomyelitis Outbreak, Uruguay, 2023–2024

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We report the genomic analysis from early equine cases of the Western equine encephalitis virus outbreak during 2023-2024 in Uruguay. Sequences are related to a viral isolate from an outbreak in 1958 in Argentina. A viral origin from South America or continuous enzootic circulation with infrequent spillover is possible.
