EIA

Equine Infectious Anemia

Equine infectious anemia (EIA) virus causes a persistent infection in horses, resulting in periodic episodes of fever, anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia and weight loss. The virus may be transferred in utero or horizontally by biting flies, contaminated needles or mother's milk. Once a horse is infected with EIA, it will test positive for antibody to the virus in serological tests and remain infected for life.
