I have been receiving many questions about the EHV-1 outbreaks. The AAEP and EDCC are the most up to date and accurate sources of information for horse owners and are in the process of organizing a Horse Owner Education webinar to help educate the public on the current outbreak. This webinar will take place on Nov. 25 at 8 PM ET. Please stay tuned as more details will be shared upon confirmation.

What is Equine Herpesvirus (EHV)?

You've probably heard it called Rhinopneumonitis, a respiratory tract disease that results in "snotty noses," but EHV is more than that. Depending on the strain, this virus can also cause abortion in broodmares, and equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) — the often-deadly neurologic form of the disease.

Because EHV is endemic in many equine populations, most mature horses have developed some immunity through repeated natural infection. However, they remain a source of infection for other susceptible horses, like weaned foals and yearlings, who usually display symptoms of the respiratory form of the disease in autumn and winter. Performance and show horses are also more vulnerable to the disease, as they commingle with unfamiliar equines in close quarters while under stress from travel and competition.

Proper biosecurity protocols can help reduce EHV outbreaks and other disease transmission. A variety of vaccines are also available for protection against both the respiratory and abortive form of the disease, but there is no equine licensed vaccine at this time that has a label claim for protection against the neurologic form (EHM).

Consult your primary equine veterinarian to learn more about this disease and work with them to determine the optimal vaccine protocol for your horses.

You can learn more about all three forms on the Equine Disease Communication Center's website here: https://equinediseasecc.org/infectious-diseases

DEWORMING ALERT: Those clients who have been counseled to "deworm your horse(s) with Zimectrin Gold this fall/winter after a few hard frosts" should proceed with deworming! Don't forget the VERY IMPORTANT step of removing all the bot fly eggs from your horse's body before you deworm to ensure that they are not immediately reinfected with bots.(Pictured below: Manure examined today from a horse infected with and passing bot fly larvae).
