Flying foxes have been linked to the spread of Hendra virus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 25, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

A horse euthanased on a Gold Coast Hinterland property has been confirmed to have been infected with Hendra virus.<\/p>\n

Biosecurity Queensland confirmed they received the positive\u00a0test result late on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Queensland Chief Biosecurity Officer Dr Jim Thompson said the horse had been euthanased after its condition rapidly deteriorated.<\/p>\n

\u201cTracing and risk assessments are being undertaken on any animals that may have had contact with the infected horse to work out if further testing needs to be done,\u201d Dr Thompson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will work with the property owners to ensure the risk is contained on the property.\u201d<\/p>\n

Queensland Health experts are also assessing the situation to determine if any humans had contact with the infected horse.<\/p>\n

Dr Thompson said this was the first case of Hendra virus in Queensland this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Hendra virus infection can occur throughout the year, so it\u2019s important that horse owners take steps to protect themselves and their animals at all times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

“Vaccination is the single most effective way of reducing the risk of Hendra virus infection in horses. It is recommended that horse owners speak to their veterinarian about vaccinating their horses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe deceased horse had not been vaccinated for Hendra virus.<\/p>\n

“If a horse becomes sick, owners should contact their veterinarian immediately.<\/p>\n

People in contact with horses need to remember to continue to practise good biosecurity and personal hygiene measures even if a horse is vaccinated against Hendra virus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
