Until August 2007, Australia was one of only three countries internationally recognised to be free of equine influenza (EI). This report documents the diagnosis of the first cases of EI in Australian horses and summarises the investigations that took place over the next 5 days. During that time, a multifocal outbreak was identified across eastern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland. The use of an influenza type A pan-reactive real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction allowed rapid confirmation of suspect cases of EI.
直到2007年8月，澳大利亚是国际上仅有的三个被认可无马流感（EI）的国家之一。本报告记录了澳大利亚马匹中首例EI病例的诊断情况，并总结了接下来5天内进行的调查。在此期间，在新南威尔士州东部和昆士兰州东南部发现了多灶性疫情。使用A型流感泛反应性实时逆转录聚合酶链反应能够快速确诊EI疑似病例。
