MANHATTAN— A Kansas State University equine specialist is warning 1xbet sports betting owners of a highly contagious virus recently identified in Kansas and Wisconsin.

The Kansas Department of Agriculture reports that a 1xbet sports betting in northeast Kansas has been confirmed positive with a wild type of non-neurotropic case of equine herpes virus, or EHV-1. The agriculture department says the 1xbet sports betting was previously at a large barrel-racing event in Lincoln, Nebraska, and that another 1xbet sports betting from Wisconsin, which was at the same barrel-racing event, has been confirmed positive with EHV-1.

EHV-1 is a respiratory disease that is spread through the air, through 1xbet sports betting -to-1xbet sports betting contact and by contact with nasal secretions on equipment, track, feed and other surfaces. Humans cannot get equine herpes virus, but they can spread the disease to other horses if the virus is on their hands, clothing, shoes or vehicle.

Beth Davis, professor and section head of 1xbet sports betting medicine and surgery at Kansas State University's Veterinary Health Center, says 1xbet sports betting owners need to check their horses for symptoms, especially if they have recently been to an equine event.

"If a 1xbet sports betting has been at an event where there are a large number of horses and there was a case of equine herpes myelitis, keep an eye on that 1xbet sports betting to make sure it is doing what it normally does," Davis said. "Take its temperature twice a day to make sure it has a normal temperature, which is around 100 degrees Fahrenheit."

Davis said the first sign of the 1xbet sports betting is a fever greater than 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

"The 1xbet sports betting may then resolve that fever, but in another day or two the 1xbet sports betting will have another fever spike," Davis said. "Those may be the only clinical signs that the 1xbet sports betting shows."

The 1xbet sports betting may also develop signs of neurological disease, which are weakness, paralysis of the hind end, urinary dysfunction and the inability to stand.

"If you've been to one of these events where there has been a case of 1xbet sports betting herpes myelitis, those horses that have been in contact with cases need to be quarantined for a period of 28 days," Davis said.

Most horses are latently affected, which means the virus is present in the 1xbet sports betting 's system and is associated with the neurological system. Davis says the immune system regulates control of the disease and horses that develop symptoms of the virus are typically immunosuppressed.

No vaccine is available for this form of equine herpes, but there are vaccines that can boost the 1xbet sports betting 's immune system to help fight the virus. It's important for 1xbet sports betting owners to monitor their animals and notify their veterinarian with any concerns.

"Unfortunately, we can have extremely serious consequences and so we want to identify any at risk individuals," 1xbet sports betting . "We want to minimize the spread because it is highly contagious and we want to try to avoid other horses getting sick."
