Wyoming State Veterinarian Jim Logan, DVM, confirmed Oct. 30 that there are currently 23 active cases of vesicular stomatitis (VS) in that state.

Since the disease was first confirmed in Wyoming earlier this year, there have been 137 investigations and 137 quarantines have been implemented. Of those, 114 quarantines have been release, Logan told The Horse.
