In a stable in Slagharen, the very dangerous rhinopneumonievirus was found. Yesterday, this neurological disease was also observed in a breeding in Hardenberg, 9 kilometers away. A horse was killed in both places.
Rhinovirus in horses can cause cold symptoms, abortion or paralysis. The contamination is through the respiratory tract, but the virus can also be transmitted by humans through clothing and hands. Therefore, any contact with an infected company should be avoided. The virus is not transmissible to humans.
The stables of Herman Koorman in Slagharen are hermetically sealed for those who have nothing to look for. Two of his horses are sick at the moment. He must keep an eye on the other animals. "We have to give them the temperature twice a day, give medicine, etc.," he told RTV Oost
Moreover, in Hardenberg, two horses are sick. All animals present can not leave the premises in the coming weeks and horses are not allowed to go out. The contacts of this breeding and the hosting of horses in the area have been informed.
