RESUMO
A small outbreak of eastern equine encephalitis involving equines occurred on the Courantyne coast of Berbice County, British Guiana, during July-September, 1962. Attempts to isolate virus from haematophagous insects collected in the epizootic area in October failed. EEE virus was isolated from the brains of two horses. Neutralizing antibodies against EEE virus were demonstrated in serum specimens collected from equines and birds in the area as well as in one of 20 human sera (AU)
