Regardless,
EEV smouldered out, not causing the immense damage of VEE in 1969-1975. An
inactivated (formalin-killed) trivalent EEE-VEE-WEE virus vaccine is
successful for equines. Although Mexico has well
over 100 veterinary laboratoties (Patología Animal) scattered throughout the
Republic, but little contact indeed with labs of the Secretaría de Salud
Pública, because veterinary work is under a different department: the
Secretaría de Agricultura. The lack of a sentinel warning system, and the
fault of immunological reagents make virus and other pathogen
identifications impossibe. Many viral tasks can only be performed in the
public health labs in Cuernavaca, Morelos near Mexico City.
