The USDA’s new National Surveillance Unit (NSU) has established a web site on which the public can see where equine diseases such as equine infectious anemia (EIA) and vesicular stomatitis (VS) have been detected. Before the launch of this web site, finding the disease status of a state might have meant contacting several sources or playing phone tag with a handful of agencies. In addition, each state’s health requirements for transported horses are available on the site. The site appears at www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/nahss/equine.
Users can map information on equine infectious anemia occurrence and testing (above), and vesicular stomatitis (below), in addition to information on other equine diseases. |
