Neurologic equine herpesvirus diagnosed in Large Animal Hospital patients

A case of neurologic equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1), a highly virulent and often severe neurological disease, was recently diagnosed in a horse that was admitted to the Large Animal Hospital. Another horse on the same farm died, and another was admitted on November 14.

The infected horse was recognized early, and stringent infection control protocols were instituted to protect other animals at the Veterinary Medical Center and in the community. The protocols include limiting movement in the Large Animal Hospital and enhanced biosecurity procedures. The Equine Center's Piper Clinic continues to serve clients, but with enhanced biosecurity protocols. Staff movement between the Large Animal Hospital, Equine Center, and teaching barn was restricted, and students were asked to watch for notices regarding teaching labs and clerk duty.

"The Veterinary Medical Center is fortunate to have facilities in the Large Animal Hospital to isolate these kinds of cases from horses that come through the Equine Center," Dean Trevor Ames said in a November 14 e-mail to students, staff, and faculty. "We are also fortunate that this case was properly handled by Dr. Akhurst, who recognized the contagious potential of this case from the onset and admitted the case at the Large Animal Hospital. These patients and any subsequent suspected cases will be handled entirely within the Large Animal Hospital, and it is critically important that we maintain a high degree of quarantine between horses at the Large Animal Hospital and those at the Equine Center. With good biosecurity and client education, we can control the spread of this disease."

Equine herpesvirus does not persist in the environment and is killed by hand soap, alcohol-based hand sanitizers, and sunlight. It does not affect humans, dogs, cats, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs or birds, but it can cause illness in alpacas and llamas. For more information—

RESPOND project highlights: October 2012

CVM faculty members, analysts, and residents involved with the RESPOND project spanned the globe in October, traveling to China, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Thailand, and Uganda. Activities included:

  • SEAOHUN One Health Core Competency Regional Workshop, Bangkok, Thailand. Karin Hamilton joined colleagues from Tufts University and Training Resources Group in hosting the Southeast Asia One Health University Network (SEAOHUN) One Health Core Competency Regional Workshop for three days in Bangkok.
  • Veterinary public health residency program development, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Karin Hamilton met with Veerasak Punyapornwithaya at Chiang Mai University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine to review a draft program guide for the upcoming veterinary public health residency program there.
  • Asian Society of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine annual meeting/Asian Pacific Veterinary Conference, Bangkok, Thailand. Karin Hamilton and Dominic Travis attended the first Asian Pacific Veterinary Conference held in conjunction with the Asian Federation of Laboratory Animal Science Associations Congress, the Thai Association for Laboratory Animal Science Congress, and the meeting of the Asian Society of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine.
  • EcoHealth 2012: Fourth Biennial Meeting of the International Society of Ecology and Health, Kunming, China. Katey Pelican and Dominic Travis represented the University of Minnesota at the meeting, where Dominic presented “Ten Years of Ecosystem Health in Gombe National Park, Tanzania” and Katey presented “Universities as One Health/EcoHealth Game Changers: Demonstrating How Public-Private-Academic Partnerships Can Advance Transdisciplinary Approaches.”
  • Discovering an important interface for the One Health approach at Akagera National Park, Rwanda. Mac Farnham accompanied students and teaching faculty from Umatara Polytechnique in Rwanda to the Akagera National Park for an opportunity to explore an important interface between human, livestock, wildlife, and the environment.
  • Jimma Intra-University Workshop, Ethiopia. Teaching faculty and deans representing departments of zoology, statistics, behavioral science, environmental health, veterinary medicine, pathology, nursing, community-based education, environmental science and technology, population and family health, animal science, agriculture and medical science came together to implement One Health at Jimma University in southwestern Ethiopia. Mac Farnham led a discussion on One Health advocacy.
  • One Health Workshop, Kampala, Uganda. Sylvia Wanzala organized a One Health workshop at Makerere University and met with personnel from the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industries, and Fisheries to discuss potential projects for One Health residents.
  • Report on outbreak response capacity building and development of One Health university networks, University of Minnesota. Michael Mahero worked with Ugandan colleagues to create a report on their recent visit to the University of Minnesota. Over two weeks, they participated in an exchange program to establish outbreak response capacity building and development of One Health university networks. The team participated in the development of a proposal for a regional diagnostic lab to be based in Uganda, planned for the setup and collaborative use of a histopathology scanner, and rotated through areas of interest at the College of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.

AAALAC awards full accreditation to U of M

The ASC is a professional organization of pathologists and cytotechnologists. 

Jill Schappa is AKC canine research fellow

Clinical pathology resident Dr. Jill Schappa has been selected as one of five canine research fellows at colleges of veterinary medicine around the United States. The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation is providing a total of $60,000 to the five colleges to fund the fellowships. Each fellow will receive $10,000 to continue canine research projects and $2,000 to travel to a national conference and present findings. Jill's research is investigating the protective effects of exercise on the bone marrow after treatment with radiation and chemotherapy. The other colleges to receive funding are North Carolina State University, Ohio State University, University of California, Davis, and University of Pennsylvania. The fellows were selected by their schools, which were chosen by the foundation based on their production of high-impact research studies and publications. Additional donations may be made to the fellows through the “Adopt a Researcher” section of the foundation website.
