Migratory birds are thought to be responsible for the introduction of the virus into new areas. This publication explains the relationship between birds, mosquitoes, humans and horses; discusses the background of the virus; describes symptoms of encephalitis in humans and horses; and explains how to prevent and control it in horses.	en
