'Swamp disease' virus of horses confirmed in Oregon; 11 ranch animals destroyed in John Day area; no cure nor vaccine known
Acute equine infectious
anemia a virus disease of
horses has been confirmed
by laboratory analysis for the
first time in Oregon, requiring
the destruction of 11 ranch
horses from a John Day area
cattle ranch.
The discovery of the dis
ease, more commonly known
as "swamp fever", was made
by veterinarians investigating
the report of illness in horses
on the Truman Cross Ranch in
Gilliam County.
State Veterinarian Glenn
Rea said the disease is a
regulatory one, making it a
factor in interstate shipment
of horses.
He said, "The disorder has
no known cure and there is no
vaccine. Consequently, the
animals literally have to take
their chances if they contract
the virus." The organism
remains in an affected horse
for the remainder of its life.
Dr. Rea said that the
Coggins Test a legally
required blood test for any
shipment of horses into or out
of Oregon is the most accur
ate indicator of the presence
of the disease.
Because of the availability
of the blood test, one precau
tion which horsemen can take
in central Oregon in particular
is to require testing before a
horse is purchased.
"At this point, we haven't
had any indications that other
animals not located on the
Cross Ranch have contracted
the disease. Our approach will
be to advise veterinarians of
the presence of the problem
and to encourage horse own
ers to be aware of the
symptoms," Dr. Rea said.
The initial symptoms, quite
literally, resemble a bad case
of the flu in humans.
Sporadic fever, apathy,
weakness and weight loss are
the first symptoms, anemia,
bleeding and other more
visible symptoms follow.
