Because of this, horses that test positive for Equine Infectious Anemia must be either euthanized or branded and strictly quarantined at least 200 yards away from other horses for the rest of their life. They may also be sent to a research facility if neither of the previous options sound suitable.
What kind of disease is Equine Infectious Anemia?
Equine infectious anaemia (EIA) is a persistent viral infection of equids. The causative agent, EIA virus (EIAV) is a lentivirus in the family Retroviridae, subfamily Orthoretrovirinae. EIA occurs world-wide. The infection, formerly known as swamp fever, is limited to equids.
What happens if a Coggins test is positive?
While most infected horses show no outward symptoms, they remain contagious for life and endanger the health of other horses. Due to this fact, horses testing positive must be euthanized or under strict lifelong quarantine.
What do you do if your horse has Coggins?
Horses that test positive for EIA must be quarantined at least 200 yards from other equines for the rest of their lives to minimize chances of outbreaks, or they may be humanely euthanized.
What is the vector for Equine Infectious Anemia?
Based on this, horse flies, deer flies, and to a lesser extent, stable flies, are the most efficient vectors of the virus.
