Equine Herpesvirus- Respiratory
Warren and Hancock Counties, OH
Alert ID: 808
February 05, 2018

Ohio Department of Agriculture

The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) has confirmed positive cases of Equine Herpes Virus (EHV) in four horses at separate locations around the state. ODA has placed multiple facilities under quarantine and is actively investigating where these animals have been and what other animals might have been exposed. ODA has confirmed two of the positive horses raced at the Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Washington, Pennsylvania. Those animals are currently under quarantine at separate facilities. One of the two raced at Miami Valley Gaming near Lebanon January 13 and 24. Testing confirms they have EHV-1 but neither animal is showing clinical signs of illness. Additionally, two horses at the University of Findlay have tested positive for EHV. These animals are also not showing clinical symptoms. ODA has placed the University of Findlay equine facilities under quarantine. Currently, the department does not believe these animals are connected to the other positive tests, but epidemiological investigations are underway.
