More EHV news. The 72 horses of the University of Connecticut herd have been quarantined due to an outbreak of Equine Herpes Virus (EHV). Apparently 3 horses have already tested positive and tests are pending on 7 others. It is unclear whether the horses have the neurologic form of the disease. I’ve only seen the most basic of news stories on the outbreak. Here’s a link to a news story. If you’re a client of mine and have concerns, please email or call.

Update 1/10/07: The three horses that tested positive at UConn are showing signs of the neurologic form of EHV-1.

Update 1/13/07: Several more horses are showing clinical signs of EHV-1 at UConn. Here’s a link from thehorse.com.
