This link at the Australian Horse Council site will take you to important information on how to take precautionary and personal safety measures as biosecurity against contact with Hendra Virus (HeV).
The recent outbreak of horses with Hendra Virus has reached us here on the Upper North Coast of NSW. Not more than 20 kms from the paddocks in which my own horses graze on my property near Lismore, a horse at Wollongbar was euthanased on Thursday as it had acquired Hendra Virus! Please take this alarmingly rapid disease seriously!! This region does harbour quite a few flying fox (bat) colonies from whence this disease is hosted and their flight paths are many over the area.
Keep safe,
Tanya.
