Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1):

This is communication from the state in regard to the recent Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1) outbreak. Things you need to know… 

  • According to the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine, right now, there are reported cases in Colorado, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma, that all appear to be associated with attending the shows in Texas and Oklahoma. 
  • The state strongly encourages all involved to familiarize themselves with the symptoms of EHV-1 and the recommended preventative measures. While there is no cause for alarm at this time, this is an opportunity to act with foresight.
