- Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) is a dangerous virus with a rising number of cases, posing a serious health risk as it can lead to death in 1 out of 3 symptomatic patients.
- The research introduces a new mathematical model for understanding the spread of EEE, using data from Florida on how the virus affects birds through different types of mosquitoes.
- Findings indicate that changes in mosquito behavior and environmental conditions can significantly increase EEE cases, particularly emphasizing the role of certain mosquito types that may act as a barrier to human infections while impacting bird populations.
