“…9 In Florida, unlike in the rest of the United States, EEEV has been found to circulate throughout the year. 10 Because of this stable transmission cycle of EEEV in Florida, some investigators have proposed that Florida may serve as a reservoir from which EEEV is introduced periodically into Connecticut, New Hampshire, and New York in the northeastern United States, areas in which virus is endemic, [11][12][13][14] through migration of infected birds.…”

Abstract. Florida has the highest degree of endemicity for eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) of any state in the United States and is the only state with year-round transmission of EEEV. To further understand the viral population dynamics in Florida, the genome sequence of six EEEV isolates from central Florida were determined. These data were used to identify the most polymorphic regions of the EEEV genome from viruses isolated in Florida. The sequence of these polymorphic regions was then determined for 18 additional Florida isolates collected in four geographically distinct regions over a 20-year period. Phylogenetic analyses of these data suggested a rough temporal association of the Florida isolates, but no clustering by region or by source of the isolate. Some clustering of northeastern isolates with Florida isolates was seen, providing support for the hypothesis that Florida serves as a reservoir for the periodic introduction of EEEV into the northeastern United States.

“…In the Northeastern United States, recent studies have suggested that the virus is periodically introduced from Florida, where it establishes itself in defined foci. [8][9][10][11] The virus then continues to circulate in these foci for several years. However, the mechanism that the virus uses to overwinter in these foci remains obscure.…”
