Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) Outbreak
During the late summer and early fall of 2009 there have been numerous confirmed reports of emus with Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in the New England area and along the East coast of the United States. Winter frosts that eliminate the mosquito populations, should help to bring this threat to an end for this year.
Each year we hear about outbreaks that occur throughout the United States. Local veterinarians are usually notified by the state ag veterinary department if, there is an outbreak in their area. This is a reminder to contact your local veterinarian and ask to be informed if, EEE is found in your area. If EEE is found locally, the recommendation is to vaccinate your entire flock.
