The only other thing that can catch it is llamas and alpacas

Thisis a very bad virus considering that it is air-born. I hope they can put this one to bed quickly. fatrooster.

This sure put a damper on the shows this year. I have a 3 year old colt that's primed and ready to show, but now all arenas are closed and all shows cancelled.
Fatroooster is correct, with the virus airborne it puts it in an all new class of seriousness. I read yesterday the horse that infected the horses at the ogden show came from Canada. So the rumors that it developed in Utah is incorrect. It just spread from there by the Canadian horse. Im even hesitant to trail ride. Never know what horse may have been on the trail.
Hope this clears up quickly.

I'm pretty sure only horses can get it. Buts its not good at all.

That's correct, only horses can get it. Latest update for Utah is that there are 6 confirmed cases and one that died from it this weekend.
