Well that is a good enough reason to not import horses into this country!!!!!

I´m living in this area, and we just had our horses vaccinated

I'm inoculating today, remember it is transmitted by mosquitos.

I had mine jabbed this summer (plus all but one of my liveries). The vet can now be found on some exotic beach with a cocktail in hand-£150 per horse including booster done 1 month later! I know for a fact that the vac costs £178.50 per box = 5 vacs so thats not a bad profit for 10 minutes work..sheesh! Glad I had it done though, not a nice disease to have around. Anyone know why there isn't a vac available for us human beings? There have been human cases here in Italy with a couple of deaths involved.
