The Washington State Department of Agriculture has confirmed a case of Equine Herpes Virus-1 (neurotropic) in King County, Washington. The horse was moved to an isolation area on the property and the premise has been quarantined. There are two other premises that will be quarantined due to recent movement of horses from the index property to other equine facilities. Temperatures will be taken twice daily and strict equine biosecurity is in place. If an owner has a horse exhibiting neurological signs or suspects of Equine Herpes Virus, they are directed to call their veterinarian immediately.
