Dear List:

I am in Colorado, and just this week saw a news item on West Nile virus.  It 
said a dead crow was found with the virus in Lincoln, Nebraska, the closest 
it had been found so far to Denver (just under 500 miles according to 
MapQuest).  Time to get the vax from the vet.

Mark,

Haven't you talked to your vet about West Nile?  I had thought all the Great 
Lake states had been alerted to vaccinate this year?  We vaccinated a few 
months ago. The torment and costs of a horse with West Nile would be 
overwhelming plus from our understanding, usually results in the death of the 
horse.

I found a good web site with a section just on horses and west nile.
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/q&a.htm



And here is a good one that shows a map of where it has been found so far 
this year.  Looks like it hasn't traveled west of about Texas so far.

See quite a bit of  talk about West Nile. Need to know some answers.
Looked at internet. In humans it seems like it can be fairly common in
infected areas with a small chance of death. Usually fever with some
other symptoms.

What are symptoms in horses and does the disease always end in death
among horses, if not is it treatable and how is it treated?

Just trying to learn.
