This is also the time of year when shows, fairs and other equine competitive events reach a climax. Equine Infectious Anemia is an infectious viral diseasee of horses that results in anemia, in termittent fever, seveie weight loss and sometimes death. “EIA is sometime called swamp fever because of its association with areas infected with mosquitos and other blood sucking insects,’’ said Or. Max Van Buskirk, VMD, director of the department’s Bureau of Animal Industry. Five horses infected with Equine Infectious Anemia have been discovered in Pennsylvania during the past six months. In two in stances, Dr. Van Buskirk said, the diagnosis of EIA in a clinically ill horse led to the discovery of an infected but apparently normal stable mate. The five animals were termediate Showman and Fitting Classes. Ari on had Champion and Reserve Champion 4-H Crossbred ewes and Ist place 4-H pair of crossbred ewes. Heidi Quanbeck had Champion and Reserve Champion Sulfolk ewes, and Ist place pair ewes in 4- H and the combination division. Joe Showers had Champion and Reserve Champion Shropshire Hams and Ist place ram pair. He also had Champion located in Butler, Perry and Dauphin Counties. He said, "Horses sick with EIA typically have a sudden rise in temperature to 105 degrees F. or higher, often sweat profusel}, breathe rapidly and appear depressed. Fever attacks may be intermittent or continuous as the disease progresses and anemia becomes severe, the animal will become weakened, and swelling of the legs and lower parts of the bod} often develop." Some infected animals exhibit only gradual loss of weight and depression, while other never show any signs of the disease. Still other animals appear to recover but have recurrent relapses. "Equine Infectious Anemia is sometimes confused with influenza, equine encepahtis, horse tick fever and other diseases," Van Buskirk said. EIA may be spread from horse to horse by biting insects. Blood transfusions and unstenlized equipment (knives, syringes, tattoo needles, and bleeding needles) previously used on in fected animals clinically ill with the disease, it may also be present ' examination with the Coggins lest," the director said. The lest reveals the presence of EIA an- tibodies even if the animal appears normal.” The Bureau of Animal Induslr> urges organizations conducting fairs, shows, races and horse sales '» •wiutr* »n nartioinatme horses Follow AC Demo Drive Signs To: HOSTETTER GRAIN Oxford, PA Lunch Will Be Served!
