Description
Pawel Kordowitzki reviews eastern equine encephalitis virus with a focus on metabolism and aging in a 2024 paper. Spread by mosquitoes, the virus can cause severe and often fatal brain illness in humans. Its natural cycle runs between one mosquito species and birds, spilling into people and horses.
A known mutation in the virus's entry receptor strongly boosts cell attachment, the review notes. Body metabolism shapes who falls hardest, and age stands out as a risk factor. Young animals fare worst in tests, and children are often the most severely hit in natural outbreaks. The piece ties those threads into a public health warning.
