Description
Illustration of the secondary structure of the E1 and E2 glycoproteins from the surface of the Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) in their pre-fusion state. These glycoproteins are responsible for attachment, fusion and entry of virus to target cells. EEEV is a mosquito borne virus that causes inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) in horses. It can be transmitted to humans, where it has a 30 per cent mortality rate and can cause long term neurological problems in survivors. EEEV is present in South and Central America, the Caribbean and eastern Gulf states of the USA.
