Dr. Wendy Vaala talks about equine influenza.

In this podcast episode we will cover:

• Why is it so hard to keep horses from getting equine influenza?
• Vaccination is a horse's best protection, especially for horses that travel
• How can we get owners to vaccinate more?
• What is "flu season" and when should we vaccinate in order to offer the best protection?
• Glycoproteins of the influenza virus membrane, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), are important
• What have we learned from the Biosurveillance Survey?
• Better to test than guess!
• How can vets know when they need to re-vaccinate in flu-prone areas or in the face of influenza in their regions?
