Case Definition for West Nile Virus Infection in Horses
June 2001
Samples will be accepted by the Animal Health Laboratory for West Nile
virus testing, if requested, throughout the year, but will only be considered
'potential' cases based on the following definition. This definition may
have to be modified as more information is discovered about the virus
and its behavior in horses.
Suspect Case
A suspect case is any case occurring in a horse between June 15 and
November 15, with acute onset clinical neurologic signs, as described
by the referring accredited veterinarian. These symptoms may include ataxia;
muscle weakness, particularly of the hind limbs; falling down with inability
to rise; requires assistance to stand; seizures; limb paralysis; muscle
fasciculation; hyperesthesia; hypermetria.
Confirmed Case
Samples will be tested in the Animal Health Laboratory and all positive
samples will be sent to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in
Ames, Iowa, for confirmation.
Clinical cases with positive, confirmed test results will be considered
West Nile virus cases.
Asymptomatic cases with confirmed test results will be considered
infected, but not clinical, cases.
Additional cases may be included when indicated and approved by the
Assistant Director for Livestock Disease Control, NJDA's Division of Animal
Health.
