Equine Flu jumps species to Dogs
According to an article published in the September 30, Toronto Star, it has been reported that a strain of influenza has jumped from horses to dogs, with a potentially fatal outcome.
The virus is said to have roots in the greyhound racing tracks in Florida and New York States.
With fears of the virus spread- ing to Canada, the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association has issued a communique to its members asking them to report immediately any clinical signs of the disease in Canada.
Veterinarians were made aware of the influenza virus jumping species in an article published in Science magazine which said that a study shows that the virus, which has been in the U.S. for at least five years, kills dogs in 10 per cent of the reported cases. The symptoms are similar to other respiratory diseases and include fever, coughing and sneezing.
