Low Transmission Rates of Equine Infectious Anemia Virus (EIAV) in Foals Born To Seropositive Feral Mares Inhabiting the Amazon Delta Region Despite Climatic Conditions Supporting High Insect Vector Populations
2021-06-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Marajó Island within in the Amazon River Delta supports numerous bands of feral equids including the genetically distinct Marajoara horses. Roughly 40% of the equids on the island are infected with the Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV). In the absence of iatrogenic transmission, spread of this lentivirus is mediated mainly by hematophagous insects whose year-round prevalence on the island...
