Australia has the world's largest population of wild equids and equine influenza (EI) was confirmed on several properties in New South Wales (NSW) close to uncontrolled areas of land during the 2007 outbreak. Likelihood and risk management assessments were carried out to determine the risk of EI infection of the wild horse populations. The likelihood of spread to the wild horse population was determined to be extremely low, but the likelihood of spread from an established wild horse reservoir back to domestic horses was considered high. The most effective mechanism of control was determined to be prevention of the spread of EI into the wild horse population through a vaccination buffer zone between EI infection foci and known wild horse populations.
澳大利亚拥有世界上数量最多的野生马科动物，在2007年疫情爆发期间，新南威尔士州（NSW）靠近未受控制区域的多个养殖场确诊了马流感（EI）。开展了可能性和风险管理评估，以确定野生马群感染EI的风险。确定EI传播到野生马群的可能性极低，但已感染的野生马群将病毒传播回家养马的可能性被认为很高。确定最有效的控制机制是通过在EI感染源和已知野生马群之间设置疫苗接种缓冲区，防止EI传播到野生马群中。
