No new cases of the neurologic form of equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) have been reported at the University of Tennessee Veterinary Medical Center (UTVMC) or the index property (The Dixie Stampede, located in Pigeon Forge) since Sept. 21, according to a statement from the UTVMC.

The index case was admitted to the UTVMC on Sept. 15 and was euthanized within hours of admission due to the progression of clinical signs. An independent laboratory along with the UTVMC laboratory confirmed the mare was positive for neurologic EHV-1.

On Sept. 21, five additional horses residing on the index premises tested positive for EHV-1. The animals were not admitted to the UTVMC, but rather isolated at their home facility.

On Sept. 26 the UTVMC reported that no further cases had been confirmed at either location
