Proposal for the control and prevention of Eastern Equine Encephalitis for equines and humans in Ecuador.
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this research was: To make a proposal for the control and prevention of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) for equines and humans in Ecuador, a search was applied in four electronic databases in search of publications on the proposed topic that met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. Subsets of publications were subjected to a meta-analysis to determine the best information on the topic. A total of 172 references published between 1938 and 2021 were included. EEE was reported throughout the Americas, from Canada to Argentina with publications on natural infections since 1933, where it was first isolated in the U.S., is now endemic in North America, and reaches South American ecosystems via infected migratory birds. EEE is a notifiable disease, and causes fatal meningoencephalitis in equines and humans; therefore, successful control of this arbovirosis is important.
