In its Sept. 24 Situation Report, the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) had no new cases of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) to announce. Since its previous Situation Report on Sept. 17, four previously VSV-infected premises in Kansas and Missouri were released from quarantine, leaving no premises currently quarantined in the U.S.

Premises released are in:

Kansas (Sedgwick County)
Missouri (Camden, Ozark, and Phelps counties)

VSV has been confirmed on 205 premises and suspected on 120 premises since the 2020 outbreak began in Dona Ana County, New Mexico, on April 13. Since then, cases have been confirmed* or suspected** in eight states:

Arizona – *18, **1 in 7 counties
Arkansas – *4, **0 in 1 county
Kansas – *101, **95 in 26 counties
Missouri – *36, **17 in 11 counties
Nebraska – *5, **0 in 3 counties
New Mexico – *13, **3 in 6 counties
Oklahoma – *18, **4 in 9 counties
Texas – *10, **0 in 6 counties

At this time in 2019 (APHIS Situation Report of Sept. 26), which tallied the highest number of cases in the past 40 years of recorded history, 151 premises remained quarantined for confirmed or suspect cases
