On April 2, a horse exhibiting neurologic signs was transported to the isolation facility at Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center in Leesburg, Virginia from Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The horse was euthanized shortly after arrival. On April 4, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ (VDACS) Animal Health Lab in Warrenton, Virginia confirmed a diagnosis of Equine Herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1). The Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center employed strict biosecurity measures and disinfection upon arrival and during the horse’s hospitalization. As a result, no horses in Virginia were exposed. The Equine Medical Center is operating normally.
