The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) has released several premises in that state from quarantine due to equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1). A total of four Michigan horses were diagnosed with EHV-1 in late March and early April.

“On April 28, MDARD released the Livingston County index farm where there were two positive horses (one was euthanized),” a May 1 statement from the department read. “There were also an additional two premises—one in Ionia County and one in Saginaw County—that had no EHV-1 positive horses but had had exposure to the index horse that were released from quarantine during the week of April 19. These farms were released from quarantine because the horses at the property had not exhibited fevers or signs consistent with EHV-1 for 28 consecutive days.”
