The State Veterinarian’s office received notification from NVSL on 7/24/25 of the 1st and 2nd cases of EEE in horses in 2025. A 5 yr old Friesian Stallion, nonvaccinated, from Jasper County. Unfortunately, the horse died. And a 5 yr old QH cross mare, with an unknown vaccination status, in Aiken County was euthanized.
These first 2 cases in the state occurred later in the year than typical, which is a testament to our veterinarians doing a great job of educating and vaccinating! Keep pressing forward and doing a great job!

Please be certain your horses are up to date for EEE and WNV. These diseases are transported by mosquitos......and mosquitos don't discriminate.
Whether the horse is your backyard best friend or a high level competition horse, they are susceptible.
