Six horses at Los Alamitos died due to an outbreak of equine infectious anemia, an incurable disease, leading to extensive quarantine measures and investigations.
EIA is not confined to the U.S.; it is a problem worldwide. This outbreak brings attention to the persistent threat of such diseases affecting equine health.
The first horse detected with EIA was Bullet Train V, a 2-year-old colt. The detection resulted in immediate euthanasia and quarantine for nine other horses.
All the horses who tested positive for EIA were quarter horses, highlighting a concerning trend in specific breeds that can be susceptible to this disease.
