Saint Louis encephalitis
Saint Louis encephalitis is a disease caused by the ''Mansonia pseudotitillans'' mosquito borne Saint Louis encephalitis virus. Saint Louis encephalitis virus is related to Japanese encephalitis virus and is a member of the Flaviviridae subgroup. This disease mainly affects the United States. Occasional cases have been reported from Canada and Mexico.
==History==
The name of the virus goes back to 1933 when within five weeks in autumn an encephalitis epidemic of explosive proportions broke out in the vicinity of St. Louis, Missouri, and the neighboring St. Louis County.〔Washington Post Magazine, October 8, 1933〕
Over 1,000 cases were reported to the local health departments and the newly constituted National Institute of Health of the USA was appealed to for epidemiological and investigative expertise.
The previously unknown virus that caused the epidemic was isolated by the NIH team first in monkeys and then in white mice.〔Edward A. Beeman: ''Charles Armstrong, M.D.: A Biography''; 2007; p. 305; (also online here (PDF) ).〕
