Equine Disease Control & Isolation

A horse is most resistant to infection and disease when:

• Immunised.
• Good nutrition.
• Minimal stress.

Managing an outbreak:

1. Make a diagnosis and verify it medically (find the cause).
2. Define a 'case,' do all sick horses have the same clinical sign and is the same diagnosis verified.
3. How big is the problem- attack rate.
4. Describe the outbreak- temporally, spatially and animal characteristics. 
5. Implement disease controls. 

Mass treat, quarantine, environmental hygiene and vaccination is possible.
