WFVX interviews Causey about disease threatening horses and emus
Robert Causey, associate professor of animal and veterinary sciences at the University of Maine, spoke to WFVX about Eastern Equine Encephalitis, which has recently been found in flocks of horses and emus in multiple counties in the state. “The key thing with ‘triple-e’, as we call it, is managing mosquitoes,” said Causey. “The critical thing — the way we protect horses, is vaccines — but the vaccinations only last for about six months, so if it’s been more than six months, you should probably get your horse re-vaccinated.”
