Abstract

A large-scale outbreak caused by equine influenza virus of the H3N8 subtype has occurred in each decade since an H3N8 virus was first isolated from horses in 1963. Each epidemic, and some minor outbreaks, has influenced equine influenza surveillance and vaccination policies in the UK and elsewhere. The latest widespread outbreak of equine influenza occurred in 2003. The possible reasons for infection of horses despite intensive vaccination are currently being investigated and may shed new light on the epidemiology of equine influenza.
