    Thanks for the reference, Dr. Newell.  It would be interesting to know if
    these carriers were a particular subtype or not.  I also wonder how common
    this is.  I've dealt with probably a few hundred strangles cases over the
    years, and had never had it flare up due to exposure to a recovered horse,
    nor had I ever heard of such a thing.  Also makes me wonder about the immune
    status of the horses that didn't clear the bacteria, though--kind of like
    the children that seem to get chronic strep throats when everyone else
    recovers fully.
