Other Animal Disease -- United Kingdom
There has been an outbreak of equine viral arteritis (EVA), a serious viral disease in horses, in Dorset.
The UK's Chief Veterinary Officer confirmed today (5 Apr 2019) that 2 cases of EVA in non-thoroughbred stallions have been discovered on a premises in the county.
Although deaths from EVA are very rare in healthy adults, pregnant mares that become infected may abort, and very young foals may die from a form of pneumonia as a result of it.
Humans can spread the disease
