Abstract
Serum surveys for St. Louis and Western Equine Encephalitis (WEE) neutralizing antibodies in migratory and resident wild birds in midwestern states during 1949 showed 11.6% of birds with positive WEE neutralizing antibodies in Kansas and Missouri area where little or no encephalitis occurred. This is compared with a survey in Colorado during 1949 following a small WEE epidemic when the sera of 25% of resident wild birds showed positive WEE neutralizing antibodies.Keywords
