CEV is primarily associated with Ae. melanimon as its maintenance host and vector in California. A few species of lagomorphs and rodents will develop a transient viremia when infected. Infection of domestic mammals and man is frequent but rarely results in a clinical disease. Extensive field and laboratory studies lead to the conclusion that CEV probably is a mosquito virus that is partially adapted to a narrow range of vertebrate hosts but is not reliant on vertebrates for its continuous existence. JCV has many similarities to CEV in California in that it is dependent on one mosquito, Cu. inornata, as its vector and, as far as is known, the same group of mammalian species as for CEV serve as hosts for JCV.
在加利福尼亚州，圣埃斯皮里图病毒（CEV）主要与黑尾伊蚊作为其维持宿主和传播媒介相关联。一些兔形目动物和啮齿动物物种感染后会出现短暂的病毒血症。家养哺乳动物和人类感染很常见，但很少导致临床疾病。广泛的野外和实验室研究得出结论，CEV可能是一种蚊媒病毒，它部分适应了范围狭窄的脊椎动物宿主，但并不依赖脊椎动物来持续生存。在加利福尼亚州，雅巴猴病毒（JCV）与CEV有许多相似之处，即它依赖一种蚊子——无饰库蚊作为其传播媒介，并且据了解，与CEV相同的一组哺乳动物物种作为JCV的宿主。
