[Venezuelan equine encephalitis. Determination of antibodies in the human population of Municipio Mirand, Estado Zulia, Venezuela]. With the purpose of determining antibodies prevalence against Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus in the population of Puertos de Altagracia and Sabaneta de Palmas of Miranda county, Zulia State, Venezuela, 199 subjects were studied: 57 from Puertos de Altagracia and 142 from Sabaneta de Palmas. They were classified in older (42.78%) and younger (57.2%) than 15 years. The blood specimens were processed for Hemagglutination Inhibition Test using EEV antigen Goajira strain at pH 6.5. We found that all 57 specimens from Puertos de Altagracia were negative, whereas of 142 specimens from Sabaneta ...
[Teratogenic effect of the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus: a review of the problem]. Clinical findings on Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis virus infection and the teratogenic effects of several Togaviruses are described. Similarities between the intrauterine alterations induced by Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis virus and rubella virus are pointed out. Findings described by Wenger in 1967 were those of massive cerebral necrosis in fetuses of women presumably suffering of encephalitis and they are commented along with the development of an animal experimental model at the end of 1970-1980. Pathogenesis of the intrauterine infection seemed to be related to changes in the placental ...
[Antibodies against Venezuelan equine encephalitis in the human population of the Mara district of the state of Zulia, Venezuela]. Antibodies against Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus (VEEV) were studied in the human population of Mara District, Zulia State, Venezuela. Two hundred thirty nine blood samples were taken from the towns of San Rafael de Mara, Santa Cruz de Mara, La Sierrita-4 Bocas, Carrasquero, Isla de San Carlos e Isla de Toas, during june, july and september, 1988.
