Vesicular stomatitis (VS) cases have been found on three sites in Colorado. In response to these findings, Kentucky officials have prohibited entry of all livestock, wild, and exotic animals into Kentucky from Colorado, New Mexico, and a designated portion of Texas (see below). Special documentation and proof of a negative VS test must accompany horses from states bordering those with VS cases: Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Utah, Wyoming, and areas outside of the embargoed zone in Texas.


Animals on three sites in Las Animas County, Colo., and a single site in Douglas County, Colo., have been confirmed to be infected with VS. Check back at this site for updates on the specifics of the outbreaks
