There is a message circulating the internet today about a variant of rhino that surfaced in Virginia. According to the note, it followed the normal course of rhino, but then enters the central nervous system, paralyzes and kills the horse. The course of the illness is 2-3 weeks. It is apparently resistant to the vaccine.
Has anyone heard anything about this? Or is it a hoax?

Hello Mary,
See Equine Diseases: Nervous System: Equine Herpes Encephalopathy for our article on this disease. There have been a recent discussion on this run a search on "herpes" and "Virginia" to bring them up.
