The release said equine piroplasmosis is a blood parasite that affects horses. It can be transmitted through infected ticks but is more commonly spread by blood and blood products through shared needles or syringes, or improperly cleaned and disinfected dental, tattoo, surgical or blood product equipment.
EEE kills up to 90 percent of the horses infected. The horse in Madison County did not survive. Although there is no vaccine for humans, the EEE vaccine for horses is particularly effective to protect horses against the virus.
This is the eighth equine EEE statewide in 2016 and the second for Osceola County, the EDCC reported.
The control strategy involved stringent movement restrictions and disease surveillance, with emergency post-outbreak vaccination strategies.
Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) confirmed Equine Herpes Myeloencephalopathy (EHM) in a mare at a breeding farm in Cooke County, Texas on May 24.

One of the test positive horses exhibited neurologic signs consistent with EHM, bringing the total number of EHM cases at this facility to two. TAHC staff works closely with the facility management and veterinarian to implement testing
