The horse quarantined with a suspect case of equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) at the Fair Hill Training Center, in Elkton, Md., will be retested next week, according to a statement from Kathleen Anderson, DVM, owner and manager of the Elkton-based Equine Veterinary Care, PC.

"The isolated suspect horse continues to be stable with gradual improvement of neurologic status," Anderson relayed. Because the laboratories will be closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 20, the horse will be retested for the disease on Tuesday, Jan. 21, she said.

Meanwhile, a group of exposed horses currently in an isolated barn remain free of clinical signs of disease and elevated temperature, she relayed.

"The last day of isolation barring any unforeseen changes will be Wednesday, Jan. 22 for this group," Anderson said
