The FEI has been notified of four new EHV-1 positives in horses in Denmark that have returned to their home stables from Valencia, two of which are showing neurological symptoms. The horses are in full isolation.
The FEI is following up on a reported EHV-1 positive in a horse that was tested at its home stables in Scotland after returning from Vilamoura (POR). Neither the positive horse nor any of its stable companions that had travelled back from Portugal are showing any clinical signs and have been isolated since their return.
The last of the German horses have now left the Valencia venue. Other horses from Hong Kong and China have also departured.
It has been confirmed that the virus strain in the horse that tested positive after participating in Gorla Minore (ITA) is not linked to the Valencia outbreak.
The Veterinary Delegate in Wellington, Florida (USA) confirmed to the FEI Veterinary Department that testing on a horse with fever in
isolation on the venue had returned negative for EHV-1.
The Swedish National Federation confirmed that it has extended the shutdown of all national events until 11 April.
