Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA)

Do you know what Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) is? EIA is an infectious, viral disease found in equids. Do you know what the symptoms look like or what to do if you suspect your horse has this disease? This disease can occur in varying forms, such as acute, subacute and chronic. Blood samples can be tested by sending them to Rollins Diagnostic Lab in Raleigh, NC. The North Carolina Department of Agriculture has a fact sheet on EIA where you can get all of your questions answered. Click on the link below to read through the fact sheet. Contact your local Cooperative Extension agent or your veterinarian if you have more questions.
