MEDIA RELEASE | Veterinarians urge vigilance and vaccination following Hendra virus case in Queensland

Equine Veterinarians Australia (EVA), a special interest group of the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA), has reinforced the importance of vaccination and biosecurity after Biosecurity Queensland today confirmed a case of Hendra virus in an unvaccinated horse in south-east Queensland.

Dr Laura Hardefeldt, EVA President, expressed strong support for the veterinarian who managed the case and reiterated the critical role of horse owners in preventing the spread of this deadly disease.

“We commend the referral veterinarian for their swift and professional response, which undoubtedly helped contain the risk to people and other animals,” said Dr Hardefeldt.

“This case is a stark reminder that Hendra virus remains a real and present threat. Vaccination is the best defence we have to protect horses, veterinarians, and the broader community.”

Ouch 🫠 This poor heifer had managed to tightly wrap some wire around her back leg down to the bone 🥴 With some sedation and pain relief on board and a very helpful client, Dr Eden was able to remove the wire, clean the wound and start her on some antibiotics. A good reminder to always pick up wire if you see it lying around! ⚒️🐮
