equine influenza virus(English)

• a common, highly contagious equid respiratory disease, historically causing high levels of equine illness and economic damage. The risk for infection is not limited to equids; dogs, cats, and humans are susceptible. In addition, equids are at risk from infection with avian influenza viruses, which can increase mortality rates. The virus is spread by direct and indirect contact, and recent epizootics also suggest wind-aided aerosol transmission. Increased international transport and commerce in horses, along with difficulties in controlling with vaccination, could lead to emergent strains and potential global spread
