Animal health officials have quarantined two additional horses at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center related to the current equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) outbreak at the facility. One of the horses had an elevated temperature with pending EHV-1 test results and the other had an elevated temperature and confirmed positive for nonneuropathogenic EHV-1 via nasal swab.
