The Kansas Department of Agriculture Division of Animal Health (KDA DAH) received confirmation from the National Veterinary Services Laboratory on Aug. 29 that two additional horses have tested positive for equine infectious anemia (EIA).

One horse is located in Finney County, and the other is located in Kearny County; both premises are under quarantine and all other horses on site are being tested.

Earlier this month, six horses in Finney County tested positive for EIA. Since that time, KDA DAH has conducted detailed surveillance, identifying, and testing additional animals connected to the index case. Through this investigation, these two additional horses have been confirmed positive. Surveillance testing continues in the area.

The KDA DAH has established an EIA page on the KDA website at agriculture.ks.gov/EIA, where future positives resulting from this investigation will be posted. The public will be notified of updates to that webpage via the KDA Twitter account: @KansasDeptofAg
