Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) officials have released all premises quarantined for equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) in Galveston County (located on the upper Gulf Coast).

The first EHV-1 case in Galveston County was confirmed Jan. 24. Following the first diagnosis, two additional Galveston County horses tested positive for EHV-1.

The TAHC reminded owners to keep their horses healthy by practicing simple and good biosecurity measures. Biosecurity is a set of preventative measures designed to reduce the risk of introduction and transmission of an infectious disease agent, such as EHV-1.
