All residents of and visitors to areas where SLEV activity has been identified are at risk of SLEV infection, particularly persons who engage in outdoor work and recreational activities and those living in low-income areas. SLEV infection is thought to confer life-long immunity against re-infection with SLEV. The elderly are at highest risk for severe disease and death.
The most potent risk factor in the development of St. Louis encephalitis is [[old age]]. Common risk factors in the development of St. Louis encephalitis are [[immunosuppression]], [[mosquito]] contact, and travel to Central and South America.
