Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1) is spread from horse to horse through contact with nasal discharge or spread as aerosol droplets.
Horses can also contract the virus by coming into contact with contaminated surfaces such as stalls, water, feed, tack and transport vehicles.
Information about equine herpesvirus neurologic disease is available on the EDCC website.
If you suspect an infectious disease of any kind, go to the What Horse Owners Should Do During the First 30 Minutes of a Suspected Infectious Disease Outbreak page on the EDCC website to help prevent disease spread.
The EDCC will report EHV-1 updates on the alerts page and Facebook page.
