Oregon Weed Awareness Week declared The O regon Department of Agriculture has declared the week of May 21-27 to be Oregon W eed A w areness Week. Invasive and noxious weeds are the targ ets o f this education campaign. Some of the weeds that fall under this category in M orrow C ounty are yellow starthistle, the knapweeds, dalmation toadflax and rush skeletonweed. Several new invaders found in Morrow County in the past couple years include leafy spurge. M editerranean sage, and G iant and Jap an ese knotweed. F inding new invaders and controlling them before they become established is key to w inning the "war on weeds.” Once established, these invaders can pose a serious economic and. in some cases, health risk to our community. The use of biological c o n tro ls in the form o f insects has helped greatly in the co n tro l o f d iffuse knapw eed in the last 10 years. Several more insects targeting yellow starthistle and dalmation toadflax are also show ing prom ise in helping to control these weeds. The O regon Department of Agriculture has a good web site with links to n o x io u s w eed pictures and descriptions as well as available biological controls and pictures of the in sects. For m ore information contact ODA or the Morrow County Weed Control office at 541-989- 6502. State veterinarian recom m ends vaccination of horses to protect against West Nile Virus Horse owners in Or egon are once again advised to help protect against West Nile Virus by vaccinating their anim als and taking steps to control mosquitoes this spring and summer. State V eterinarian Don Hansen of the Oregon De partment of Agriculture says it is very likely more cases of the disease will be report ed in Oregon this year, and that owners of horses need to be consider taking steps to protect their horses. "Vaccination against the disease provides good p ro te c tio n ag ain st West N ile,” says Hansen. “For those who have already vac cinated their horses several months past, a booster shot now will strengthen protec tion. It is important for horse owners to vaccinate animals before the mosquito season gets into high gear.” T he vaccine for horses is available through local veterinarians and many veterinary supply stores. Oregon became one of the last states to report the presence o f West Nile Virus when the disease was con firmed in 2004. The final tal ly for 2006 showed detec tions of the virus in 73 hu mans. 35 horses! 25 birds, and more than 1.000 mos quitoes. Insect control on in dividual animals remains a good preventative measure against the virus. Insect re pellents applied to animals according to label directions, screened housing at night, and controlling exposure to m o sq u ito es at dusk and dawn can all work to limit the possibility of infection. R eduction o f m osquito ■ i breeding sites is also effec tive in controlling the spread of the disease. Any source of stagnant water is important. Tires, wading pools, wheel barrows, hirdbaths. or wher ever w ater can stand for more than four days is a po tential breeding site. Local vector control districts can offer advice and assistance. Infected wild birds are the source o f West Nile Virus. Mosquitoes bit infect ed birds and then can poten tially transmit the infection to horses and humans. The dis ease does not transmit from horse to horse or human to human. A bite by an infected mosquito is the only known route of transmission. A low percentage of mosquitoes carry the virus and a low percentage of horses bitten by infected mosquitoes become ill. But a horse showing signs is a serious situation. The dis ease causes inflammation of the brain and about one-third of affected horses die. Symp toms include stumbling, lack of coordination, w eakness in the legs, depression, muscle twitching, and death. For more informa tion contact Don Hansen, state veterinarian, at (503) 986-4680.
