Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 25, 2019 Journalists Share Posted February 25, 2019 Just 13 days after racing resumed in Britain following a six-day break due to equine influenza, there has been an outbreak of EI in a trainer’s yard in Lamorlaye, near Chantilly, France, France Galop confirmed on Monday. Both the trainer and his veterinarian have taken the necessary steps to isolate the infection. Details on the number of infected horse(s), the trainer, or if those horse(s) had recently raced were not released. The organization reminds trainers of the need for quarantine isolation for horses exhibiting respiratory symptoms, as well as any new arrivals to the yard. Horses should be nasal swabbed that are showing signs of the virus and the RESPE should be notified of those individuals. Movement of stock should also be minimised and only healthy animals should be transported, with particular care taken to prevent the spread of the disease through both equine and human means. France Galop also recommended that horses that have been vaccinated against EI more than six months ago should receive a booster vaccine.
