The<unk>  virus is a type of arbovirus called a bunyavirus. The Bunyavirales are mainly arboviruses. Most cases of<unk>  encephalitis occur in children under 16 years of age.<unk>  virus is a zoonotic pathogen cycled between the daytime-biting treehole mosquito, Aedes triseriatus, and vertebrate amplifier hosts (chipmunks, tree squirrels) in deciduous forest habitats. The virus is maintained over the winter by transovarial transmission in mosquito eggs. If the female mosquito is infected, she may<unk> y eggs that carry the virus, and the adults coming from those eggs may be able to transmit the virus to chipmunks and to humans. Anyone bitten by a mosquito in an area where the virus is circulating can get infected with<unk> V. The risk is highest for people who live, work or recreate in woodland habitats, because of greater exposure to potentially infected mosquitoes.
