🗞️ Equine Quarterly Disease Surveillance Report 2024 Q2 News 🗞️
An update on equine influenza (EI) and avian influenza in the UK from the virologists at the University of Cambridge. Key takeaways:
🔹Emerging EI Variant: Since the 2019 H3N8 Florida sublineage clade 1 (FC1) outbreak, a novel EI variant with two amino acid changes in the haemagglutinin glycoprotein (HA1) was detected in January 2024 in a horse imported from Denmark. This variant is now circulating in the UK, evidenced by clusters of respiratory disease in unvaccinated equines. Ongoing research is assessing the impact of these changes on vaccine efficacy, with no infections reported in vaccinated animals to date.
🔹HPAI H5N1 Concerns: The highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus, detected in cows in the USA, shows potential for mammalian infection. Although no equine infections have been reported, similar viruses have historically infected donkeys. Continued surveillance is crucial to mitigate potential risks to both equines and humans.
