Equine infectious anaemia: investigations continue in Cornwall

TWENTY-FIVE horses and ponies remain under restriction on a premises in Cornwall following confirmation of a case of equine infectious anaemia (EIA) on October 3. The official notification of the case to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) by the Chief Veterinary Officer, Nigel Gibbens, reports that the affected horse was a 10-year-old gelding, which was confirmed positive for the disease on the basis a Coggin’s test conducted by the AHVLA’s Weybridge laboratory. Samples had been collected from the animal after it displayed clinical signs of anaemia. Following the positive result, the horse was euthanased. This is the first case of EIA to be confirmed in the UK since December 2010 and an epidemiological inquiry into its origins is underway. The report to the OIE also notes that samples had been taken from the 25 in-contact horses on the affected premises. Initial test results were negative, although, on October 3, when the report was submitted, some results remained outstanding. The in-contact animals will continue to be monitored for 90 days as required by EU regulations.
