Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is a retroviral
infection of horses. Horses infected by EIA virus (EIAV)
become inapparent carriers that remain asymptomatic for
the remainder of their life span and serve as infection
source to other horses. In this study, agar gel immunodiffusion
test and ELISA were used to investigate the presence
of antibodies to EIAV in equines. A total of 67,042
equine serum samples from 19 states and two union territories
were tested during April 1999 to September 2012.
The results revealed that none of the animals were positive
for antibodies to EIAV from 1999 to December 2009.
However, two EIAV sero-positive cases one each from
indigenous and thoroughbred equines were detected in
2010 and 2012, respectively. Occurrence of EIA after a
long gap of 11 years is indicative of reemergence of EIA in
India which warrants concerted efforts in nationwide surveillance
and monitoring for detection and elimination of
EIAV carrier animals to prevent EIA outbreak.
