Transylvania County, NC
Alert ID: 1197
March 13, 2019

North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

Number Affected: 1;

Breed: Mule; Horse Status: Euthanized;
Notes: The mule displayed clinical signs and at necropsy had histopathological changes consistent for EIA. Additional blood from the animal was not available for testing for EIA, so out of an abundance of caution the case is considered presumptive positive by animal regulatory health officials. The remaining equids at the facility were tested and were negative for EIA and will be observed and retested in 60 days.
