As cases of equine influenza are surging in Southern California, Oregon and Washington State and horse owners are being urged to keep their animals safe, here i...s some useful information on the disease. Equine influenza is a highly contagious respiratory condition, and is one of the most common infectious diseases of the respiratory tract of horses. Influenza is endemic in the equine population of the United States, which means it's always around. Equine fu spreads rapidly through groups of horses in aerosolized droplets dispersed by coughing, and the severity of clinical signs depends on the degree of existing immunity within the affected individual, among other factors. Any horse showing signs of respiratory disease (cough, nasal discharge, persistent fever) should be isolated immediately until the cause can be determined by your veterinarian. Please note that, while humans cannot contract the disease, they can carry the infection and transmit the virus between horses. Contact your horse doctor for more information on how to prevent this disease through an appropriate vaccination protocol and biosecurity practices. More information on equine influenza is available on our website at https://aaep.org//DiseaseFactsheet_EquineInfluenza_FINAL-C
