Equine Influenza (EIV)
The Equine Influenza (EIV) Test Card detects the presence of the equine influenza virus, a highly contagious respiratory infection that affects horses. EIV causes symptoms such as fever, coughing, nasal discharge, and lethargy. While it is usually a mild condition, it can lead to severe complications, especially in young, elderly, or immune-compromised horses. Early detection and management of EIV are crucial to preventing outbreaks and minimizing the impact on horse health.
Rapid Detection: Provides result in 30minutes
Easy-to-Use: Simple one-step process, compact and easy to store
Non-Invasive: Detects EIV from samples, avoiding invasive methods.
Use: Suitable for veterinary clinics, emergency care, or shelters.
Early detection of Equine Influenza (EIV) is crucial for timely treatment and limiting the spread to other horses. The Equine Influenza (EIV) Test Card offers a quick and accurate way to detect the virus, enabling veterinarians and horse owners to take prompt action. Early intervention improves recovery chances and helps prevent further outbreaks, especially in high-density environments like stables, racetracks, or equestrian events.

Equine Influenza (EIV) is a highly contagious respiratory viral infection that primarily affects horses. The virus causes fever, coughing, nasal discharge, and reduced performance. EIV can spread rapidly among horses, especially in environments like stables, racetracks, and equine events. While it is typically not fatal, it can lead to severe complications, particularly in unvaccinated or immunocompromised horses. Early detection and timely management are essential for controlling outbreaks and ensuring a swift recovery.
Equine Influenza (EIV) is highly contagious and primarily spreads through respiratory droplets from infected horses. The virus can be transmitted through direct and indirect contact, making it easy to spread in environments where horses are in close proximity.
Direct contact with an infected horse’s nasal discharge, saliva, or respiratory secretions through coughing or sneezing.
Indirect contact through contaminated surfaces such as feed, water bowls, grooming equipment, tack, and even clothing or hands that have come in contact with the virus.
EIV can survive in the environment for several days, particularly in areas where horses gather, such as stables, racing tracks, and equine events, making it easy for the virus to spread quickly.
High Prevalence: Equine Influenza (EIV) is one of the most common and highly contagious respiratory diseases in horses. It can affect horses of all ages and is prevalent in both rural and urban environments
Mortality Rate: While EIV is rarely fatal, it can cause severe illness and complications, particularly in unvaccinated or immune-compromised horses. Prompt diagnosis and management are essential for minimizing the risk of complications and improving recovery outcomes.
Seasonal Outbreaks: Equine Influenza tends to have higher incidence rates during cooler months, particularly in the winter, when horses are often confined to stables or barns in closer proximity to one another, increasing the likelihood of viral transmission.
Young Horses: Foals and young horses are particularly vulnerable to Equine Influenza (EIV) because their immune systems are still developing, and they may not have received full vaccinations.
Unvaccinated Horses: Horses that have not received their full vaccination series are highly susceptible to EIV.
Horses in High-Risk Environments: Stables, racetracks, riding schools, and other facilities with high horse populations
Horses with Weakened Immune Systems: Horses with compromised immune systems, such as those with underlying health conditions or those under stress, may be at higher risk for contracting EIV and experiencing more severe symptoms.
