⚠️ UK Equine Influenza Update - 28th May 2026 ⚠️

Since the beginning of April 2026, a total of 74 laboratory-confirmed EI outbreaks have been identified across 38 counties, including two new counties affected from the start of this outbreak period.

‼️ Although weekly reported outbreak numbers based on sampling date appear to be declining, continued vigilance is essential, as a similar pattern was observed in 2019 before a subsequent surge and peak in outbreaks and reporting delays or fatigue may also contribute to an apparent reduction in confirmed cases.

📌Our post here shows an overview of key information relating to the newly reported updates

🐴 If you are an owner with concerns regarding EI please speak to your vet who will be able to assist.

📞 If you are a UK vet with concerns regarding an suspected or confirmed case, EIDS offers a free advice service, please call 01223 766496. Furthermore we urge you to report any cases you have diagnosed to our reporting platform to help us accurately monitor this ongoing situation (https://equinesurveillance.org/diseasereporting)
