There has been much buzz about current outbreaks of equine herpesvirus. Below are are some important things to remember.
Key Points -
1) Equine herpesvirus (EHV), also known as rhinopneumonitis (rhino virus) can cause several disease syndromes:
> Respiratory disease
> Abortion and newborn death
> Neurological condition known as equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM)

2) The vaccines available help protect against the respiratory form and abortion and may lessen spread of the virus but do not prevent EHM.

3) Moving horses increases risk of spreading disease. At this time it is important to be aware of the history of horses shipping to a new location. Horses coming from a region with EHV cases (not from facilities that are quarantined with known cases - these horses should not be moved) it is recommended to isolate these individuals for 14 days. During this time monitor temperatures twice daily and call your veterinarian with temperatures greater than 101.5. Also watch for respiratory or neurological signs. Isolating new horses is always a good practice.

Stay up to date on the latest news of the EHV cases, learn prevention tips to keep your horses safe!

When you ask most horse owners about controlling infection in their horses they say, “Oh, you mean do I vaccinate and worm my horses?” Certainly immunization of horses with vaccines to prevent or reduce the severity of infectious diseases is a very important part of any infection control plan.

However, owners need to realize that vaccination is only one component of a complete infection control plan for their equine friend; another big part should be focused on reducing or preventing exposure of the horse to infection causing agents. This will surely require more work on the horse owner’s part and will be more difficult to do. But if you're thinking, “is it really necessary?” — we believe the answer is yes. This effort vastly outweighs the cost of treating and possibly hospitalizing a sick horse!

Learn more tips about controlling infection in your horses on our website at https://aaep.org/horsehealth/tips-controlling-infection-your-horses. And as always, your veterinarian remains your best source of information and advice!
