Three horses at the World Equestrian Center (WEC) in Wilmington, Ohio, have tested positive for equine influenza, the site’s management said in a Feb. 12 statement.

Show veterinarian Holly Helbig, DVM, informed management of the positive rests. All three horses have tested negative for Streptococcus equi (which causes strangles) and for equine herpesvirus-1 and -4.

When the affected horses exhibited signs of equine influenza, Helbig isolated them at the WEC Veterinary Clinic, where they’ve been under her care and supervision since Sunday (Feb. 10)
