State, national olive industries continue to impress
By Dallas Duncan
Nearly two years after the first harvest, producer Jason Shaw has one goal in mind: lessening America's dependence on foreign oil.
Olive oil, that is. Georgia olive producers teamed up with growers in California and Texas to form a national organization, aiming to market the American product through educating consumers. "We're only producing about three percent of the olive oil in the US right now. It was only one percent five years ago," said Shaw, one of the owners of Georgia Olive Farms in Lakeland, Ga. "We're growing it. ... We're all in it together building a viable domestic industry." The three olive-producing states hosted a tasting event in New York earlier this summer and invited national media outlets. Georgia Olive Farms is no stranger to media attention it's been featured in The Washington Post, Atlanta Magazine, Garden & Gun and more and the New York tasting brought even more spotlight. The most recent accolades came from Delish. com, the food website partnership between MSN and Hearst Corporation. "We couldn't make it [to the event], so we were lucky enough to have ... a tasting, which included
the one from Georgia and Texas," said Kiri Tannenbaum, contributing editor for Delish.com. "We were like, `Oh, these are great.'"
She said they tasted as good, if not better, than some artisanal oils she tried in Europe.
"I think a lot of Americans don't think about olive oil as something being produced in the US," she said. "There's this idea that you need Italian olive oil and people don't know some of those major brands are not really pure. They're not grown from one single estate. ... They could be blends from different countries."
That's why one of Shaw's goals is to ensure stricter labeling rules on olive oil, so when consumers think they're buying an extra-virgin variety, they really are.
"Quite frankly, a lot of mislabeling in the marketplace with oil being labeled extra virgin that shouldn't be labeled that way, it's just refined or defective oil or in some cases blended with some oils that are not even olive oil," he said. "Sixty-nine percent of those labeled as extra-virgin were mislabeled."
Shaw learned "what olive oil tastes like" while going abroad.
"Then you get here and you get oil from the grocery store, and it doesn't taste like that. That's

FDA defines `gluten-free' for food labels
By Dallas Duncan
On Aug. 5, the US Food and Drug Administration released a rule defining what characteristics food must have to be labeled "glutenfree."
The rule requires a gluten limit of 20 parts per million in foods that are labeled "gluten-free," "without gluten," "free of gluten" and "no gluten." According to the FDA website, this is the lowest level that can be detected consistently in foods using valid scientific tools.
"I'm really glad this food label law is going into effect because it forces companies to take it seriously," said Emily Wagener, a food science graduate student at UGA.
The FDA estimates about five percent of foods now on the market labeled gluten-free contain 20 parts per million or more gluten. Gluten is a natural protein in wheat, rye, barley and related crossbreeds, the FDA website states.
Wagener cannot eat gluten she was diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder celiac disease seven years ago.
"The body launches an autoimmune response against the gut, and it causes damage to the villi in the small intestine," she said. "Most of the time accidental ingestion is not going to kill you, but over a long time [as nutrient absorption is blocked by damaged villi] your body will start to decline."
The rule means gluten-free foods cannot contain any ingredients that are types of gluten-containing grains; ingredients derived from these grains; or ingredients derived from these grains with gluten removed that still contain 20 or more parts per million gluten.
Toula Argentis, owner of 2B Whole Bakery in Kennesaw, Ga., specializes in gluten-free products.
She tests in-house for gluten in her products on a monthly basis, and more frequently when new products are introduced.

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Georgia Restaurant Association
Group creates partnership between chefs, Georgia Grown program
By Morgan Smith
Georgia Restaurant Association began in 2003. With 23 board members and five staff members, GRA represents more than 3,000 restaurants.
"We serve as a unified voice for an industry comprising over 16,000 foodservice and drinking places in the State of Georgia," said Rachel Matthews, marketing and communications manager for GRA. "GRA's mission is to promote three key issues for Georgia's restaurant industry: advocacy, education and awareness."
GRA teamed up with Georgia Grown on an initiative to increase awareness and use of Georgia agricultural products among culinary
professionals, thus forming the Georgia Grown Executive Chef Program.
"Georgia's restaurants are increasingly planning their menus around locally grown foods, so it made sense for GRA to support this outstanding program," said GRA Executive Director Karen Bremer. "Participating restaurants can ensure that they are offering their customers top-quality food products, while supporting local growers and reducing their carbon footprint."
The program recognizes four outstanding chefs as ambassadors to promote a better understanding of the availability and quality of Georgia products. Public school culinary education and school food nutrition programs are also a major part of the Executive Chef Program, offering training and recipe development.
The four chefs for 2013 are Chef Linton Hopkins of Atlanta; Chef David Synder of St. Simons; Chef Jennifer Hill Booker of Atlanta; and Chef Ahmad Nourzad of Atlanta.
"GRA is proud to support Georgia Grown," Bremer said. "We hope to continue to promote this great cause and to help establish solid and beneficial relationships between our restaurants and agricultural industry."

FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 2013
GUEST COLUMN: Fort Valley State U -- National expertise, global reach
Thomas Friedman reminded us
in his best-selling book called The
World is Flat that global interdepen-
dence is a reality that our nation and
our business, government and other
enterprises cannot afford to ignore or
not to embrace.
This is true for colleges and univer-
sities as well. Moreover, the flattening
GRIFFITH
of the world has increased greatly since the first edition of Friedman's
book. As such, one of my goals as president of Fort Valley
State University is to design and deliver a global engagement
strategy.
Our land-grant status, and especially our College of Agri-
culture, Family Sciences and Technology and College of Arts
and Sciences, position us to sustain and extend the interna-
tional linkages that currently are episodic as a university.
Our global strategy will be both intentional and strate-
gic. It will extend the perimeter of engagement in all the
areas critical to our mission: teach, research and community
service. Being strategic means having to assess current
strengths, leverage those strengths to meet desired mission
outcomes and create networks to benefit our students and
faculty in particular and the citizens of Georgia in general.
In this respect, we need to build on the initial linkages by
our agriculture school with industry and governmental of-
ficials in Belize, Nigeria, Jamaica and other nations. But we
also have to pursue new opportunities. One such opportunity
relates to connections with the Bahamas.
Later this semester, we will be hosting a delegation from
the Bahamas where the state university is launching an
agricultural and marine sciences program. While in the Baha-
mas this past June to speak at a conference celebrating their
40th independence anniversary, I heard the prime minister
announce that initiative. Sitting in the audience when the
announcement was made was the chair of the university's
governing council.
As fate would have it, the head of the council, who is a former minister of education and attorney general, is a friend of mine. I offered to host a team to come and formalize a partnership to share Fort Valley's research expertise, build a pipeline for students to come and study for undergraduate and graduate degrees and more. This visit will occur this fall.
Beyond this, we will be making fuller use of the wealth of research expertise in the College of Agriculture, Family Sciences and Technology and in the College of Arts and Sciences. One way this will be done is by establishing a research center on homeland and global food security, to meet teaching, research and community outreach goals and benefit both our nation and the flat world. This initiative is in the planning stages.
Moreover, we must be intentional and inclusive -- beyond one or two of our colleges -- about our research engagement and our global design. It is for that reason that I've launched a university-wide Undergraduate Research Program, tapping a professor with an illustrious record of leading and facilitating research experiences by undergraduate students nationally and internationally.
The new Undergraduate Research Program is being headed by Dr. Sarwan Dhir, professor of plant science in the College of Agriculture, Family Sciences and Technology, with Dr. Andrew Lee, associate professor of speech in the College of Arts and Sciences, as associate director.
As well, we're developing an Honors Program, led by Dr. Meigan Fields, associate professor of political science. Together, these two pursuits will help to take Fort Valley State University to new heights as we pursue excellence in teaching, research and service, taking our local and national expertise to places beyond our national borders.
Ivelaw Lloyd Griffith is the new president of Fort Valley
State University. He previously served as a political science
professor, provost and senior vice president at York College
of the City University of New York and holds a bachelor's,
two master's and a Ph.D. in political science.
GUEST COLUMN: UGA's role in the tradition and future of Georgia agriculture
Georgia is a state rich in history
and tradition, and one of its greatest
traditions is its strong and vibrant
agricultural community. The Uni-
versity of Georgia has been linked
closely to agriculture in this state
almost from its establishment as the
nation's first state-chartered univer-
sity, and certainly since the passage
MOREHEAD
of the Morrill Act, which created the land-grant university system for
the express purpose of serving the people of Georgia and
improving their lives. There is simply no way to do that in
this state without a connection to agriculture.
I have been a member of the UGA faculty since 1986
and while my expertise is in business and law, my passion
is the University of Georgia. As I learned more about the
university as a whole, I saw very clearly the close con-
nection between agriculture in all its varied forms and
functions and the state's flagship university.
UGA must serve the people of Georgia in meaningful
and tangible ways. We are doing that through assistance
to the state's economic development programs; in fact,
one of my first acts as president was to open an economic
development office in Atlanta to align our resources with
the state's initiatives. Historically, agriculture has driven
the Georgia economy and remains today the largest single
sector of the state's economy. Any assistance UGA offers
to agriculture serves the economic development goal.
Beyond that, agriculture at UGA is global in scope
and impact, addressing health and wellness concerns
and issues through food safety education and programs,
fighting obesity and related chronic health conditions and
increasing access to healthful food supplies; enhancing the
environment through improved water efficiencies, prevent-
ing the spread of invasive species, finding environmentally
safe solutions to pest problems and developing alternative
fuels; and increasing food production by developing highyield, low-input crop varieties, improving mechanization and finding long-term storage solutions to prevent waste.
Almost every year, agriculture leads the list of technology transfer successes those research-based products or services that have made the move to the commercial market whether it be turfgrass varieties, new or improved crop varieties, or methods to improve production of Georgia staples such as peanuts and Vidalia onions. Next month, I will accompany Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black and [UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences] Dean Scott Angle on a two-day farm tour, and I am very much looking forward to seeing firsthand the work that we do and the impact it is having.
We are also present in every county in Georgia through the Cooperative Extension Service and 4-H program. I had the opportunity to speak at the recent 4-H Gala in Atlanta and was very pleased with the level of support for that important and effective program. The Cooperative Extension Service has a long history of connecting UGA research with farmers, cattle producers, the poultry industry and all of Georgia's agricultural sector, and also provides budgeting, food safety, food preservation and other advice through the College of Family and Consumer Sciences and other UGA units. We serve Georgians to the benefit of all.
My commitment is to maintain and even expand that level of impact on the lives of Georgians. This state cannot move forward without agriculture, and UGA will continue to support and advance this important sector of the Georgia economy.
Jere Morehead is the new president of the University
of Georgia. He previously served the university as senior
vice president for academic affairs and provost. He is a
graduate of Georgia State University and the University of
Georgia School of Law, and is the first university alumnus
to be named university president since 1967.
agriCULTURE
By Dallas Duncan
Many of you have heard of Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay cosmetics. I attended the company's 50th anniversary Seminar this month, and heard this quote of hers a lot: "Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, `Make me feel important.'"
While this is excellent advice for Mary Kay consultants, it rings true in agriculture, too.
Consumers have varying ideas of what is "right" and "wrong" in agriculture in the food system, and there are constant debates about these ingredients and processes.
All of these differing viewpoints can be attributed to a multitude of factors. But there's one thing they all have in common: the perception of "big ag."
What is big ag? Big ag is the myth that food we find at the grocery store comes from ginormous factory farms where livestock are pumped full of hormones, antibiotics, too much corn and who knows what else. Big ag is the myth that producers with large acreage misuse pesticide, herbicide and fungicide. Big ag is the myth that multinational corporate agribusinesses are in complete control of the nation's food supply. Big ag is the myth that the farmer is so intent on making it rich that he no longer believes the consumer is important. And that's just not true. More than 90 percent of all farms in the country are family owned and operated, according to the US Department of Agriculture. Some of these farms have hundreds of acres, some just a few. Some have cattle on grass, others send cattle to be grain-finished in Nebraska. Many of them have at least two or three generations of family members working every day to grow food and fiber to clothe and feed people all over the world. No matter the size of the farm, there's one goal in mind: producing a wholesome, nutritious, safe food (and fiber) supply for the consumer. You, the person who goes to the grocery store, the farmers market, the restaurant, you are our end goal. If the food and fiber we produce isn't up to your standards, you don't buy it. Farmers want you to love the food they grow. Your choices are important, so it's important for agriculture to have something on the shelf for everyone. So many consumers have fallen into believing the "big ag" myth because they're several generations removed from the farm. It's up to us to bridge that gap. If you have the opportunity to sell some of your products at a farmers market (or shameless plug, at an upcoming Georgia Grown Farmers Showcase), do it! If you aren't able to make it to a physical location every Saturday, look into selling at a non-traditional market, such as a CSA, co-op or online farmers market. Not into that sort of thing? Then see if your county hosts an ag day or a career day or offer to let some first-graders come visit and pick peaches. There are plenty of opportunities for us to interact. We need to step back for a second and remember what's vital about our food and fiber industry: the consumers who support it. We know they're important. Now it's time to let them know it, too.

ARTY'S GARDEN: Plant glossy abelia for its abilities
FEATURED RECIPE:
Savory summer deep-dish pie
Glossy abelia is the most popular shrub in Georgia that almost no one knows the name of. It's like one of the supporting actors in the movies: they quietly do their job, but don't draw undue attention to themselves and their performance while the stars get top billing.
You'll find glossy abelia everywhere in Georgia from beach cottages to mountain cemeteries to the grounds of our state Capitol. Because it does not make as big a splash with a lot of colorful blooms all at once like azaleas or have large flowers like camellias, glossy abelia doesn't get the credit it deserves as an attractive and can-do landscape plant.
Glossy abelia blooms all summer with small, bell-shaped, sweet-scented, white (occasionally pink) flowers. The greenish pink or copper calyxes look like a second crop of blooms after the actual flowers drop. The glossy, evergreen leaves are green to coppertinted, and there are variegated varieties with yellow, cream and red hues.
The regular form of glossy abelia can reach six to seven feet tall (or more) with an almost equal spread, but can be kept much smaller. It can even be sheared into a hedge, but looks best and produces more flowers if it is pruned to maintain a loose, natural appearance. There are compact and prostrate varieties that reach only two to three feet tall.
If you like to make flower arrangements, you will find glossy abelia one of your most valuable allies. You'll be cutting it all summer and into the fall and winter since the attractive flower-like calyxes stay on
after the flowers have gone. I have a yellow-leaf variety and cut it back frequently. I fill vases with it and use it to help hold up stems of zinnias, dahlias, roses and other larger cut flowers. Once again, it plays the important supporting role. Its flowers and shiny leaves help the other flowers look even better.
Those seeking easy maintenance in their landscapes should appreciate glossy abelia for its immunity to diseases and insect pests, drought tolerance and its ability to tolerate a wide range of soil conditions. It blooms best in full sun, but can handle half-shade. Nature lovers should look to glossy abelia for its ability to attract butterflies and provide a home for birds. The common silver-spotted skippers especially love it, but so do the larger and showier tiger and black swallowtails. The curious hummingbird moth is a frequent visitor feeding among its blooms. The twiggy stems make it a favorite nesting spot for cardinals and other songbirds, provided, of course, that you are not cutting it constantly for
flower arrangements. Visit a garden center or nursery to see some of the
varieties of glossy abelia available. Now that you know its name, you have no excuse not to give this durable performer the credit it deserves.

ing expert. He's a lifelong gardener and a horticulture
graduate of North Carolina State University who

"We always need to make sure that the test comes out negative," she said. "You just have to make sure there's no wheat protein in the ingredients you use. ... It's no big secret, you just have to have very good controls to make sure there's no cross-contamination."
Cross-contamination occurs when gluten-free foods are prepared or processed in the same area or with the same equipment that process ingredients containing gluten.
It's a problem that Lilburn, Ga., resident Kristin Braddy's dealt with before.
"[My mother] can tell when she's gotten into gluten," Braddy said. "She has times when she's hurting really badly and she'd say she didn't eat anything that she was aware of that has gluten in it. ... It definitely happens. You do get ahold of gluten unknowingly."
That's where the new rule comes in, said Sara Yang of Suwanee, Ga., technical service manager at Grandma Hoerner's Foods in Manhattan, Kan.
Though she doesn't have health problems that pre-
vent her from eating gluten, she said the FDA rule is "definitely a step in the right direction."
"Before, there was no standard for what you could call gluten-free. It's impossible to prove the absence of something, so if you want to claim something is glutenfree you have to have that upper limit," Yang said.
The rule does allow for foods inherently gluten-free, such as eggs, produce and bottled water to be labeled as such. Companies have until Aug. 5, 2014, to comply with the labeling, or face regulatory action. Georgia Department of Agriculture Food Safety Division staff is still reviewing the rule to see how it will affect the state's food industry.
Braddy said she doesn't think the rule will be hard to follow.
"If you're labeling it as gluten-free, it should be gluten-free," she said. "Having that reassurance there is a good thing on the celiac's part as well as the manufacturer's part. I don't think it should affect too much if they're being truthful about their gluten-free [products]."

Adan announced as Department Food Safety Division director
By Dallas Duncan
The Georgia Department of Agriculture recently named Natalie Adan of Atlanta, Ga., as its new Food Safety Division director.
"The food safety arena is constantly evolving, which makes it essential for all aspects of the food regulating community to work together so that we may strengthen the capacity of an integrated food safety system," Adan said. "My long-term career goal is to continue to develop my knowledge, skills and abilities, allowing me to be an asset in a position that makes an impact in food safety."
Adan will oversee the retail food, manufactured food, farm safety and poultry grading programs as well as administer state laws, rules and regulations for food sales establishments that are required to obtain a license.
"With over 10 years of experience in the food safety industry, Natalie Adan brings a high level of expertise to our department as our director of food safety. I am confident in her ability and her commitment in ensuring Georgia has the best
food safety program in the nation," Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black said. "There are many new food safety regulations coming out and being amended each year. Natalie has the education and the knowledge of these new regulations, as well as the relationships with food producers and processors across Georgia to ensure they are in compliance with the new procedures."
Adan has a degree in biology from Georgia Southern University. She's worked for the Department in the Pesticide and Food Safety Divisions as well as the North Carolina Department of Agriculture Food and Drug Protection Division. Prior to her director position, Adan served as the Georgia Department's food processing program manager, the first such position in the state.
Her history in food safety includes participating in the yearlong International Food Protection Training Institute Fellowship in Food Protection and redeveloping the Food and Drug Administration Training Course ... Risk Based Inspection and Investigation Application.
She's a committee and board member with a number of
organizations, including the
Association of Food and
Drug Officials, ADFO of the
Southern States, International
Association of Food Protec-
tion, Georgia Association of
Food Protection, Georgia En-
vironmental Health Associa-
tion, Georgia Food Safety and
Defense Taskforce and more.
"As the director of the
Food Safety Division, Natalie
has a huge responsibility on
her hands," Black said. "En-
suring people's food is safe is one of the most important
ADAN
things we do at the Georgia
Department of Agriculture. Whether it is pre-packaged deli
meat or fresh bell pepper, we are committed to providing
consumers with safe products on store shelves."

Any person engaged in buying live poultry of any kind for resale, or in selling live poultry of any kind bought for the purpose of resale, must be licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Possessing such a license does not by itself disqualify an individual from advertising poultry in the Market Bulletin; however, advertisers should note that all livestock (which includes poultry), must have been in possession of the advertiser for a minimum of 90 days or, in the case of chicks, ducklings, etc., must have been raised by the advertiser before offering them for sale in the Market Bulletin. Mallard ducks must be at least three generations from the wild before they can be advertised in the Market Bulletin. Advertisers must include this information in notices submitted for publication.

FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN
OIL: Product aimed at Georgia chefs
From Page 1
Georgia Grown Executive Chef Dave Snyder finishes a dish using olive oil from Georgia Olive Farms. He uses the oil at his restaurants in St. Simons, Ga. Photo courtesy John Toth
why we need standards so Americans ... know that they're getting what they're paying for," he said. "Olive oil is not like wine. It does not get better with age. Oil is never going to be better than the day that you squeeze it out of the olives."
That's what makes a good extra-virgin variety, said Georgia Grown Executive Chef Dave Snyder, owner of Halyards Restaurant Group and Tramici in St. Simons, Ga.
"It hasn't been touched," Snyder said. "The olives are squeezed and the oil that comes off goes right into a jar."
He said one way consumers can ensure they're getting the olive oil they're paying for is the bottle color.
"You want to make sure you're buying something that is in a greenish or tinted glass," Snyder said. "Sunlight and light is harmful to olive oil. If someone says you've got extra-virgin olive oil and it's in a clear glass, it's probably not extravirgin olive oil."
Shaw said he's excited so many chefs are interested in knowing where their food is grown.
"Our target market has always been our chef customers. Those were the guys who originally sort of discovered us and helped promote us," Shaw said.
Snyder is one such customer. At his restaurants, the oil is used to finish dishes such as homemade mozzarella and the catch of the day special.
"They really know their stuff and obviously their product is incredibly good," Snyder said. "Flavor is great, consistency is wonderful. ... The flavor is rich, clean. There's a nice fruitiness aspect to it, a little nuttiness to it. It's what you want in an extra-virgin olive oil."
Peanut butter film in the works
By Dallas Duncan
When Joseph Barnhart decided to become a filmmaker, he was told to work with what he had.
What he had was agriculture. "In 2010, when peanuts were upwards of $1,000 per ton, I rather randomly started filming the planting of peanuts that year. After that, I realized there was no full-length feature film on peanuts," Augusta-area native Barnhart said. "There are segments that briefly cover the whole thing, but no original full-length film ... so I figured why not me go ahead and do the first one." His documentary, "Growing Peanut Butter," is almost completely filmed and even has a musical score. Barnhart is trying to fundraise to finish the project online via Kickstarter, a website where individuals pledge to support projects, and if they get fully funded, they donate. Filming took him all over the state, and much of the footage has been gathered. He spent time at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture in Tifton, on farms and at his own family farm, where his father sometimes grows peanuts. "I want it to be about educating people about all the little things that go about bringing food to your table. It will cover ancient history, modern history, planting, all the little things that I can squeeze in," Barnhart said. "It's all about growing your food and growing peanut butter." Kevin Calhoun, peanut procurement manager for Birdsong Peanuts in Colquitt, Ga., said Georgia's the center of the peanut industry, and it's one of the largest industries in the state. "It provides a lot of revenue to the state of Georgia. Also, it's just a good, wholesome product that is helpful for everybody," he said. Those are some facts Gerald Long, owner of Long's Produce in Bainbridge, Ga., hopes are covered in the documen-
tary. Long has grown multiple acres of peanuts since 1973. "Being a farmer, we have to have a lot of faith and trust
in God, but to go out and put one little old seed in the ground and expect it to create a bountiful crop, that's a miracle in itself," Long said. "There's so many Georgians now that are so far removed from the farm that we tend to ... lose sight of where it came from and what it took to get it on the grocery shelf. ... All the way from the actual planting of that peanut seed in the spring all the way until it gets on the shelf for the consumer, there's a lot of hands that handle it, but also a lot of thought going into it as far as food safety and the quality of product we're providing."
"My end goal would be to try to get it on some networks like Amazon, Netflix, PBS, Discovery, the ones that have that sort of content on a regular basis," he said. "It is an interesting topic and people like knowing about such things and it does affect them."

VISIT WITH A VET:
Mosquito-borne viral diseases
Visit with a Georgia veterinarian in this new monthly feature. This edition comes from the State Vet's office.
There are more than 2,500 different species of mosquitoes worldwide, according to the American Mosquito Control Association. About 150 species live in the US.
Each species lives in a specific habitat, exhibits unique behaviors and bites different animals. Several mosquito-borne viruses circulate each year in Georgia that can cause disease. The most common are West Nile, eastern equine encephalitis and LaCrosse. These diseases are most active in late spring through early fall, and two West Nile and eastern equine encephalitis are zoonotic diseases that can be contagious to both people and animals.
West Nile virus West Nile is transmitted by blood-sucking vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks, and requires a bird host. Mosquitoes feed on infected birds, and after an incubation period of five to 15 days, can transmit the virus to humans and animals. Forty percent of horses that contract West Nile die from it. The virus multiplies in the horse's blood system and crosses into the brain, where it causes inflammation and interferes with the central nervous system. Clinical signs of the disease include fever, stumbling, muscle weakness or twitching, partial paralysis, inability to stand, convulsions and coma. There is no documented evidence of person-to-person or animalto-person transmission, so an infected horse cannot infect humans or other horses. The disease can also infect cats, bats, chipmunks, skunks, squirrels and domestic rabbits, but does not appear to cause extensive illness in these animals.
Eastern equine encephalitis Like West Nile, this mosquito-borne illness affects the brain and central nervous system, causing profound depression, blindness, staggering and seizures. Most infected horses die within several days, and those ages 6 months to 2 years old are most vulnerable. As with West Nile, EEE is transmitted through blood-sucking vectors and require a bird host. People, horses and birds can become infected from a bite by a mosquito carrying the disease, but there is no evidence that horses can transmit the virus through direct contact. Symptoms of EEE include impaired vision, aimless wandering, head pressing, circling, inability to swallow, staggering gait, paralysis, convulsions or death.
Preventing these diseases There are several things people and animal owners can do to prevent the spread of these mosquito-borne viruses. Equine vaccines exist for West Nile and horses should be vaccinated for EEE at least twice a year, beginning at 6 months old if the dam was vaccinated and 3 months old if she was not. Apply fly masks, fly sheets and fly leggings to horses when they are at pasture, and spray them with an oil-based insect repellant. Keep horses inside at dawn and dusk the prime mosquito-feeding times and turn on fans inside barns to create a breeze. Cut down weeds near structural foundations and mow the lawn regularly. Apply insecticides to trees, shrubs and walls, and consider installing bug-tight window and door screens on stables. Outdoor lights can also be replaced with yellow "bug" lights. Remove sources of standing water on your property and protect yourself by wearing insect repellant and protective clothing.
