Canadian Resident Who Died Last Month Was Infected With EEE Virus

Canadian Resident Who Died Last Month Was Infected With EEE Virus

A Canadian resident from Ottawa was infected with the Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus when he died last month according to the public health unit. This is the city’s first known human case of eastern equine encephalitis.

Like the West Nile virus, EEE is typically transmitted between wild birds and mosquitoes, according to Ottawa Public Health. It sometimes infects horses, hence its name, but is seldom passed on to people.

According to CBC News Canada, last month, OPH said there had only been three confirmed human cases in Ontario. As recently as Monday, Health Canada reported no EEE infections in humans. OPH also said in a follow-up email to CBC that it couldn’t share any more information about the victim but has determined “local exposure in Ottawa was a strong possibility.”

On Thursday, OPH stated that the person who died last month of viral encephalitis or brain inflammation did undergo a laboratory test that confirmed they’d been infected with EEE based on the antibodies found in a test.

Apparently, a second horse in Ottawa has tested positive for the virus, it said, and the EEE virus had also been found in a mosquito pool.

Meanwhile, a fourth human case of EEE has been discovered in Massachusetts.

Health Canada says that the early EEE virus symptoms can include fever, headaches, and vomiting. Symptoms can progress to brain damage, coma, and death if the case is severe.

The risk of contracting this virus is ongoing, and at least until the first heavy frost, according to health officials. In order to make sure you don’t contract this virus, the “authorities” suggest avoiding being bitten by mosquitoes.

There is a vaccine for horses but not for humans either, so if you’re still of the belief system that it’s all about getting a pharmaceutical intervention, unless you want “horse meds” you won’t be able to get one.
