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.

Control office at 541-989-

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.

tion contact Don Hansen,
