Oh? I hadn't realized it was present for so many years in horses. I thought
it was only 1/2 to 2/3 as long. I guess that was wishful thinking! :(
So, is there any mortality rate with this flu in equines, or is it
generally mild/moderate and recoverable as with dogs? Just curious in case
I ever see it!
Thanks

Canine Influenza: The Dog Flu
"The H3N8 equine influenza virus has been recognized in horses for more
than 40 years. In 2004, the H3N8 influenza virus or “flu” appears to have
“jumped” from horses to dogs. The virus had mutated into a form known as
canine influenza virus (CI virus) that is highly infective for dogs. At
first, veterinarians thought the H3N8 canine flu would be quite lethal.
Fortunately, like the human flu virus, it kills very few healthy
individuals. "
