[RC] EI Equine Influenza in Australia - k s swigart

Don Huston said:


Is this similar to the Rhino Flu we have here in
America?


Rhino and Flu are two different types of viral diseases so there is no
such thing as "Rhino Flu."  If you are asking about the recent spate of
the neurological form of Rhino that went through a few venues a number
of months ago, the answer is, "No, it is not similar except to the
extent that both Rhino and Flu are viral infections of the upper
respiratory tract."


Can we vaccinate for EI?


For some strains.  There are both intramuscular and intranasal varieties
of vaccines for EI.

The FEI requires that horses be current on the EI vaccines to validate
FEI passports.
