Abstract
A virus isolated from a sick horse from India in 2008 was confirmed by next-generation sequencing analysis to be equine encephalosis virus (EEV). EEV in India is concerning because several species of Culicoides midge, which play a major role in EEV natural maintenance and transmission, are present in this country.

Equine encephalosis is an arthropodborne, noncontagious disease of equids, characterized by fever and lassitude (1). For some affected horses, lack of appetite and some degree of edema have been reported as secondary complications (2). Equine encephalosis virus (EEV; family Reoviridae, genus Orbivirus) was first isolated from horses in South Africa in 1967 and was considered endemic to southern Africa until an outbreak was reported in Israel in 2008 (3). Reports of EEV circulation in Israel indicated that the virus is not limited to a particular region and raised concerns about the risk for its spread to other countries where competent hosts and vectors are present (3). A recent study examining EEV seroprevalence in Israel, Palestine, and Jordan has emphasized the potential risk for invasion of pathogens into new ecologi

Zika a Vector Borne Disease Detected in Newer States of India Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic
Introduction
Zika virus (ZIKV), a vector-borne flavivirus transmitted by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, mainly Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. ZIKV was first isolated from the Zika forest of Africa in 1947 from the serum of rhesus monkey during yellow fever (YF) surveillance (Dick, 1952). The spectrum of the Zika virus disease (ZVD) is similar to diseases caused by other flaviviruses, namely, Dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV), Yellow Fever (YF), and Japanese encephalitis (JE) with an incubation period of 3–14 days (Pielnaa et al., 2020). The virus is also known to spread through sexual, vertical, and blood transfusion (Rothan et al., 2018). The first human case of ZIKV was reported in 1952 and thereafter, for several decades, sporadic cases of mild illness were reported from Africa and Asia. First major outbreaks were reported from Yap (Micronesia) in 2007 and French Polynesia (2013–2014) (Moore et al., 1975; Duffy et al., 2009; Musso et al., 2018). The clinical spectrum of ZVD usually consists of mild illness including fever, myalgia, headache, rash, arthritis, and conjunctival congestion with up to 4/5th of the infected individuals being asymp
