Sewage Raises West Nile Virus Risk
I don’t have my horses vaccinated yet. I was contemplating just forgetting about it this year but son Todd (who had probably already bought the vaccine for me) told me I should. I would be interested in hearing about how many folks do vaccinate and for what. I have been vaccinating for West Nile but didn’t vaccinate for years before that except for one year we used nasal strangles vaccine (live) – sickest bunch of horses we have ever had. Please share your vaccination experiences and opinions with us on the comments below.
“The infection rate for mosquitoes, birds, and humans is strongly associated with their proximity to a creek impacted by sewage,” says Gonzalo Vazquez-Prokopec, the Emory University disease ecologist. More information about: Sewage raising the risk of contacting West Nile Virus.

I have owned horses for years and since 2001 when the outbreak of West Nile happened in our area I have vaccn all of my horses every year. I would not be able to live with myself if one of my horses died or had complications because of my negligence towards West Nile.
