Notes: Two cases of Strangles have been reported at a facility in Clark County, Nevada.  There are over 12 presumptive other cases based on clinical signs at the same premise.  Clinical signs were first seen by a local veterinarian on 2/4/2019.  On 2/19/2019 one horse was reported to have died after exhibiting signs, although no confirmatory testing on cause of death were completed.  Strict biosecurity is being encouraged and the Nevada State Veterinarian has asked the facility to impose a voluntary hold on the movement of animals into and out of the premise.
