Abstract
Arbovirus of the genus Alphavirus and Flavivirus
can cause febrile illness and sometimes neurological disease
in both humans and animals. West Nile Virus (WNV), Eastern
Equine Encephalitis Virus (EEEV), Western Equine Encephalitis
Virus (WEEV) and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus (VEEV) are
endemic in the Mesoamerican region and the local appearance of
these viruses is regulated by the amount of vectors and reservoirs.
The objective of this research was to establish the etiologic
agents associated with the presentation of arboviral neurological
disease in Costa Rican horses from 2009-2016.
