Abstract
⺠Alphaviruses are important causes of emerging diseases as well as biothreat agents. ⺠Venezuelan equine encephalitis causes equine-amplified epidemics and enzootic spillover. ⺠Eastern equine encephalitis virus is one of the most virulent viruses for people and equids. ⺠Chikungunya virus repeatedly emerged from Africa into epidemic urban cycles in Asia and Europe. ⺠Population genetic studies are needed to identify natural and intentional alphavirus emergences.
