The first known outbreak of eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in Vermont occurred on an emu farm in Rutland County in 2011. The first isolation of EEE virus (EEEV) in Vermont (VT11) was during this outbreak. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that VT11 was most closely related to FL01, a strain from Florida isolated in 2001, which is both geographically and temporally distinct from VT11. EEEV RNA was not detected in any of the 3,905 mosquito specimens tested, and the specific vectors associated with this outbreak are undetermined.
佛蒙特州首次有记录的东部马脑炎（EEE）疫情于2011年发生在拉特兰县的一个鸸鹋养殖场。佛蒙特州首次分离出的EEE病毒（VT11）就是在此次疫情期间。系统发育分析显示，VT11与2001年从佛罗里达州分离出的毒株FL01关系最为密切，FL01在地理和时间上都与VT11不同。在检测的3905份蚊子标本中均未检测到EEE病毒RNA，与此次疫情相关的具体传播媒介尚未确定。
