    [RC] sleeping sickness - Kathy & Mike Kelly


    There was a notice in the local paper yesterday recommending that all horses be up on their vaccinations for "sleeping sickness" (in Arizona).
     
    Is this known by another name?  How is it transmitted (horse to horse, mosquito, or ?).  They said the symptoms were neurological and death rate is 20%-50%.  Are they talking about Western Encephalitis?
     
    I am trying to get ahold of my vet and the state vet to find out where the outbreaks have been, but any info you can give me is appreciated!
