Re: [RC] Postive Coggins test in Chico, CA??? - Sisu West Ranch
"...EIA is spread by mosquitos. Mosquito
season is right around the corner The horse has to be quaranteed or
euthanized, at least in TX...."
Best evidence I have read is it is not mosquito's
but rather biting flies. The message is quite the same: The horse
has to be kept away from other horses.
EIA tends to be slow developing and happen in
pockets. Unless the positive horse was recently imported from somewhere
else, there are other positive horses in the same herd or area.

PS: I did a careful literature search a number of
years ago when MN was changing it's EIA policy. It is nothing to be
ignored or swept under the rug.
