Confirmed case(s): Quarantine

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Axtell Contract Off-Range Corrals have issued a voluntary quarantine of wild horses at the facility due to an outbreak of upper respiratory tract infection. Individual infected animals are being tested for the exact cause, but early diagnosis indicates “strangles”. BLM officials have notified the Utah State Veterinarian of the outbreak, who visited the facility. Coordination is also occurring with Utah Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for testing of the infected horses. The Axtell facility staff began seeing signs of strangles on March 27. No mortality of horses has occurred from the localized outbreak, only clinical signs are being observed at this time.
