The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) released the equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) quarantines in San Joaquin and Riverside counties on June 30.

The department reported June 16 that a 12-year-old Quarter Horse gelding and a 12-year-old mule, both from Riverside County, attended Mule Days in Bishop, California, which took place May 17-26.

“After returning home, the Quarter Horse gelding spiked a fever of 106°F on May 30 and exhibited neurologic signs on June 4 and confirmed positive for … EHV-1,” the statement said. “The 12-year-old mule never spiked a fever and began coughing on June 2 but showed no other clinical signs.”

The statement also said that an 8-year-old Quarter Horse gelding who did not attend Mule Days, but was a cohort to the other Quarter Horse gelding, developed a high fever and severe hind limb ataxia (incoordination) on June 4
