The Baguio City Veterinary and Agriculture Office (CVAO) in partnership with the Department of Agriculture -Regulatory Division and the Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (RADDL) collected 70 blood samples on horses at Wright Park.
This is part of the 184 horses in the City of Baguio being monitored of Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) every six months.
EIA is a highly infectious viral disease of horses. It causes fever, lethargy, anemia and sudden death but other horses show little to no symptoms.
Last May, Mayor Benjamin Magalong issued an Executive Order No. 56, Series of 2021 requiring the mandatory isolation of all sick horses in the city to contain the spread of the disease.
