Abstract
Two emus died with acute hemorrhagic enterocolitis. Eastern equine enc ephalomyelitis (EEE) virus was isolated in Vero cells from non-pooled samples of brain and intestine. Enterocolitis with splenic and hepatic necrosis was reproduced by intramuscular or oral inoculation of this isolate in two ostriches and three turkey poults.
