Eastern Equine Encephalitis

Greenville and Horry Counties, SC

Alert ID: 253

July 27, 2016

The State Veterinarian’s office received laboratory confirmation of two new equine cases of EEE on 7/26/16. One of these cases is in Greenville County and is the first confirmed case in the Upstate in 2016. This confirmation comes after the first confirmed case in the Midlands in Kershaw County the week of 7/15/16, providing solid evidence that the risk to SC horses from EEE at this time is not confined to our coastal counties but is indeed statewide. The Greenville county case was a 10-year-old QH. The second new case was a 5-year-old QH in Horry County. This is the 4th confirmed case in Horry County in 2016. Neither of these horses had been vaccinated according to label instructions and neither survived. The total number of confirmed cases in SC in 2016 is now 11.
