THE horses, that participated in the National Cutting Horse Association’s Western National Championships in Ogden, have been cleared of Equine Herpes Virus-1. officials WITH THE California Department of Food and Agriculture SAY the recent disease outbreak of the neuropathogenic strain of EHV-1 is over BECAUSE it has been 14 days since the last clinical case was confirmed.
Although California has been cleared of the outbreak, C.F.D.A. officials (and veterinarians) WARN THAT owners NEED TO remain vigilant in caring for their horses, because the risk of disease is ALWAYS higher when animals ARE HOUSED TOGETHER.
