The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture confirmed a case of Equine Herpesvirus Myeloencephalopathy (EHM) by RRT-PCR testing (wild-type virus). The horse resided at a very small private barn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Although the investigation is ongoing, it appears there are very few horses with known or potential exposures to this horse. Quarantine of exposed or potentially exposed horses with monitoring of temperatures and clinical status has been implemented and will continue for a minimum of 21 days.
