As of September 20, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) has identified two cases of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE). On September 15, 2016, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development was notified that a four month old Standardbred filly in Clare County tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). The filly had developed a sudden fever, was staggering and eventually unable to rise. The filly was not vaccinated against EEE and did die. On September 16, Michigan's second case of EEE was identified in a 12-year-old, Quarter Horse mare in Menominee County. The horse had a fever, was not eating or drinking, and was leaning against walls. The unvaccinated mare later died.For more information visit www.michigan.gov/equinediseases.
