Putting a Chokehold on Strangles
Fall 2018: Biosurveillance Program sheds light on Streptococcus equi subs. equi (better known as strangles), prevalence factors.
How the Biosurveillance Program Delivered the Industry’s Most Current Influenza Vaccine Protection
Spring 2018: In February 2013, an outbreak of equine herpesvirus (EHV-1) and equine influenza virus (EIV) impacted a large number of well-vaccinated horses. How the Florida ’13 vaccine strain story began.
Getting to Know the “Other” Herpesviruses
Fall 2017: What we know about the gamma herpesviruses, equine herpesviruses types 2 and 5 (EHV-2, EHV-5). There is some evidence suggesting that EHV-2 and EHV-5 may be clinically important as respiratory and ocular pathogens in some situations.
Spotlight on Equine Herpesvirus-4
Spring 2017: Study confirms equine herpesvirus-4 (EHV-4) is a predominant virus associated with upper airway infection.

Tracking an Uptick in Equine Influenza
Fall 2015: The most recent six months of Biosurveillance data reveal equine influenza virus (EIV) as the most common pathogen. Interesting demographic factors observed among EIV positive cases.
From Outbreak to Vaccine: A True Tale of Equine Influenza Surveillance
Fall 2019: A silver lining in an equine influenza outbreak? Thanks to real world surveillance we can learn from an outbreak by isolating and sequencing the strain causing it to potentially improve vaccine protection.
