In this video, we take an in-depth look at Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA)—a potentially fatal viral disease affecting horses, mules, and donkeys. We discuss how the virus is transmitted through blood-sucking insects, the clinical signs that can indicate infection and the importance of diagnostic testing (including the well-known Coggins test). You’ll learn how veterinarians and equine owners can work together to prevent the spread of EIA through proactive biosecurity measures and responsible horse management. By understanding this disease, equestrians and veterinarians can help protect the health of horses and support the broader equine community.
