Alert ID: 359

November 09, 2016

On November 8, one premises in Broward County was placed under quarantine after a horse displayed neurologic signs and was confirmed positive for EHV-1 wild type strain via PCR. Currently, no other horses at the premises have presented with clinical signs consistent with EHV-1. The index case died of natural causes late November 6 and started displaying neurologic signs the same day. All horses on the premises are required to have their temperatures taken twice daily with any temperatures above 101.5 reported to incident management and tested for EHV. Additional biosecurity measures are in place. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as warranted.
