Piroplasmosis
Wyoming, United States
Alert ID: 306
September 02, 2016
On August 25, a Wyoming origin race horse tested positive in California for Equine Piroplasmosis. Subsequent testing of other horses in Wyoming that were associated with the positive animal identified 13 additional infected horses involved that belong to one owner in Wyoming as well as another horse belonging to one owner from Utah. These animals are currently under quarantine at the owner's property. Following consultation with the USDA APHIS Equine Epidemiologist, Wyoming Livestock Board (WLSB) veterinarians may allow permitted movement of test negative animals to other Wyoming race tracks this racing season. Wyoming Pari-Mutuel Commission has issued an order, which will go into effect on September 8, requiring all horses that enter a sanctioned race track in Wyoming to have a negative Theileria equi cELISA test within 12 months prior to the event.
