Vesicular Stomatitis in Texas for Equine & Cattle

According to the Texas Animal Health Commission, they have received 4 new reports of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in Texas equine and cattle.

Confirmations since the last VSV situational update (May 8, 2020):

    • Hudspeth County 1 new confirmed positive horse premises
    • Kerr County 1 new confirmed positive horse premises
    • McMullen County 1 new confirmed positive cattle premises
    • Zapata County 1 new confirmed positive horse premises

VSV is spread by direct contact with infected animals or spread by insect vectors like black flies, sand flies and biting midges. Since the VSV infected cattle have not recently traveled, this could indicate that VSV-infected insects are the likely source of infection on these premises.
