b. Sick Equid Trigger Point: i. The definition of a sick equid and specific trigger points warranting the response of isolation of an equid should be outlined for the premises.


ii. Consult local, state, or federal animal health officials to determine specific trigger points and response action for reportable diseases. Note, the response to a reportable disease may vary by state; therefore, it is necessary to contact the official in the state where the event is held to determine reportable diseases.


iii. General recommendations to consider for designation as a response trigger for isolation include detection of: 1. Body temperature greater than 101.5°F (38.9°C) 2. Ataxia or recumbency 3. Aggressive behavior or stupor 4. Profuse diarrhea 5. Oral or coronary band vesicular or ulcerative lesions 6. Nasal discharge, coughing, and/or lymphadenopathy


c. Entry and Exit Protocols i. All movement in and out of the isolation area should be regulated and recorded, e.g. with check in sheets.


ii. Additionally, maintain a log, recording events as they occur, including case identification (which horses got sick), control measures implemented, diagnostic testing results, and communications.


iii. Disinfectant footbaths or mats should be placed at all entry and exit points to and from the isolation area and each stall. 1. Disinfectants suitable for footbaths and mats include 10% bleach or peroxygen compounds such as Virkon® S. Read label indication, instructions for use and safety information prior to using any disinfectant. Please see the disinfectant table linked in Section II.C.3 for more information.
