EHV-1 Outbreak in Maryland

January 23, 2008

The Maryland Department of Agriculture announced Jan. 22 that horses stabled at the Bowie Training Center cannot leave until test results are completed for a horse showing symptoms similar to those for equine herpesvirus (EHV-1).

Equine herpesvirus-1 (also known as "rhino"), which causes upper respiratory infection, can also cause neurological disease.

Blood samples and nasal swabs were taken on the horse in question Jan. 22, and the animal was relocated to an empty barn on the grandstand side of the road as a precautionary measure, according to a news release from the Maryland Jockey Club.

About 500 thoroughbred horses are stabled at the Bowie Training Center, according to Mike Gathagan, vice president of communications for the Maryland Jockey Club. The horses in Barn 7 are only allowed to walk the shedrow.
