Alert ID: 183

March 19, 2016

(SUNLAND PARK, N.M.) – A private racehorse-training facility in southern New Mexico is under quarantine after a single horse there was confirmed to have a parasitic disease. The New Mexico Livestock Board imposed the quarantine -- no horses in, no horses out -- at Jovi Training Stables late Friday after one horse there was confirmed to have equine piroplasmosis (EP). EP is a bloodborne disease transmitted by ticks, or mechanically via improperly sanitized syringes and the like. Humans cannot get equine piroplasmosis.
