Information on Equine Herpersvirus and current sitution at Sunland Park.

The brochure below is available from USDA. It is well written and covers most of the key points for the situation right now in a simple Q&A format. I would think that NMDA or NMLB should have many of these to post or hand out. I figure Hanosh or the acting state vet will assess the situation and make the recommendation on whether to vaccinate with existing EHV vaccines in the face of an outbreak or not. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/nahss/equine/ehv/equine_herpesvirus_brochure_2009.pdf This next link is the only place I could currently find the USDA equine bio security brochure in Spanish. It is a USDA pub, but it is not accessible from their website write now. It is not EHV-specific, but it covers standard bio security practices. http://esc.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/bro_keep_horses_healthy_sp.pdf I don't have any other good, vetted resources to share right now. I hope this helps. Jason Turner NMSU Extension Horse Specialist
