There are currently 4259 Infected Properties (IPs), 407 Dangerous Contact Properties (DCPs) and 462 Suspect Properties (SPs).
Whatever zone you are in, if you suspect your horse is infected with EI you must legally notify NSW DPI on the EI hotline as soon as possible. The sooner you let us know the sooner we can contain it.

....and you would know this how?
Maybe the Iraqi information Minister has a new position in the DPI do you think? lol
Why is it I get the feeling laurel and hardy or the three stooges could do a better job.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BLOODY CONTAIN IT TOO.?
THIS is what everyone but the racehorse industry think of the great job the minister for the Department of Pest Introduction DPI is doing.

No plan for widespread vaccination.
I thought I'd bring up something that is possibaly the dumbest thing to have been done in relation to the plan to get rid of EI."There is no plan for widespread vaccination of horses in Australia while the eradication program is in progress."Okay do I need to explain just how stupid that is? Has nobody told the "officals" we are forced to rely on during this crisis that if you do a widespread vaccination, eradication will happen quickly? It seems as though the people in charge of vaccinations are either really stupid or on the pay-roll of some hot shot racing trainer. You see the thing that gets me is the racing world only want their horses vaccinated so they can compete - we want our horses vaccinated to protect their health.Look at Makybe Diva - she has gone from being the Legendary Mare of Track to a money factory. Her little boy is only 7 weeks old and they already have her in foal again? While EI is running around the property she is kept on? It might be nothing for a millionaire to loose a foal but to the NON-RACING crowd - who work day-in, day-out just to be able to aford the ability to breed it's a huge lose. And i'm sure the Diva doesn't want to loose her little boy.Bottom line is that if no one bets on the Melbourne Cup - they dont make any money! And as the Non-Racing world currently hates them for the special treament they are receiving it looks like it will be a fun time for them. If it happens that is.Word directly from the VIC DPI (my family called them this afternoon) is that 297 properties in VIC with over 496 horses between them had been tested for EI as of 12.30pm today. Bet nobody knows about that little detail.So to the Racing Industry I hope your happy - you get to run your precious race, Victorian horses now get to suffer.
Thanks a bloody lot!Emma.

SITUATION UPDATE
There are currently 4,563,000 Infected Properties (IPs). Encouragingly, Dangerous Contact Properties (DCPs) and Suspect Properties (SPs) have dropped to 0!
Although there was a further increase in IPs over the last 24 hours, the new IPs are still occurring within existing Australian borders, and further cases are predicted to occur around existing IPs and SPs where there are very high seahorse densities. We are considering an expansion of the purple zone into New Zealand, with the aim of reaching Iceland.
The disease containment situation remains encouraging and there is still reason to be optimistic about the prospects for eradication, since all high risk horses have now died and none remain to be infected. However, the DPI still expects a sustained response effort will be required over the next six or more months with recreational horse owners maintaining high bio-security (racehorse owners are exempt). SDCHQ epidemiologists have ceased to trace the epidemiology of the outbreak, they are now busy investigating the Foot and Mouth outbreak.

Current predictions are for some 300 properties to eventually become infected and this is still within the expected course of the outbreak.
More than 1500 horse owners have registered through the website or by fax. Thermometers have been sent to 283 owners, while 92 have reported sick horses through this reporting facility. Ongoing industry support for self-registration and for self-monitoring of horses is of enormous importance in pinpointing suspect properties as soon as possible. It will also be important for developing comprehensive information to support the possible future release of areas from quarantine.
'Closed racing' will commence at Warwick Farm on Saturday 8 September and Newcastle on Wednesday 12 September. This will provide much-needed economic relief for a major section of the NSW racing industry.

As of today 12 October I have 45 uninfected horses. they sit and wait for the inevitable because your boffins in power instead of locking down ALL BLOODY HORSES NO EXCEPTIONS and actually had protocols already in place just in case such a disaster waiting to happen for the past 10 years certainly the past 5 arrived.
But noooo can’t be prepared can we. Was paperwork in place to bring in any vaccines necessary in case of just such an eventuality for any of the possible accidental (or were they) importations, (now we know Eastern Creek Quarantine Station is nothing more than a 10 star agistment property well it should be at $100 a day to stay there) but no have to make application to parliament for permission as no one had ever planned for the day when it might happen so even new legislation has to be enacted first before application can be lodged and accepted so it takes 6 weeks to get vaccinations in to put in buffer zones then what? (can provide copy of email from dpi to verify that ) What have you in place for West Nile Fever, or foot and mouth? kill everything like you did for Ovine Johnnes? (for those who don’t know, our rural sector knows only too well how incompetent the DPI are, thousands of farmers went to the wall on that futile kill bill campaign and priceless bloodlines lost before they stopped the slaughter).
The non agricultural people of Australia haven’t a clue what a lot if idiots are running the nuthouse that is Australia’s politics and departments. Country people know and shudder but they don’t count because they haven’t the astronomical numbers of the city folk to vote em out.
What buffer zones, have to vaccinate the bloody tb's first.
Well their vaccinated and its too late now for the buffer or should that be bugger zones?
You don’t give a bugger do you? Mr McDonald.
So now I get an email asking me to lodge application to vaccinate my horses.
Now when its only 2 miles or less from me in all directions.
McDonald shouldn’t be in charge of a chook raffle.
Neither should the heads of the DPI since they cant see an idiot from 100 yards and refuse to heel.
Good night
Hope the bedbug’s bite
