Outbreaks of equine influenza (EI) cause major disruption to the racing industry, resulting in cessation of racing until affected horses have recovered from the disease. The introduction of EI to a large population of Thoroughbred horses stabled at a Sydney racecourse provided the opportunity to observe clinical signs and monitor the spread of EI in this predominantly naïve population and to assist in determining an endpoint to infection spread to allow resumption of racing events.
马流感(EI)疫情对赛马行业造成重大干扰,导致赛马活动停止,直至受感染马匹康复。EI传入悉尼一个赛马场大量圈养的纯种马群体中,这提供了一个机会来观察临床症状,监测EI在这个主要为易感群体中的传播情况,并协助确定感染传播的终点,以便恢复赛马活动。
