Equine influenza daily update - 19 November 2007

Overall progress

Despite a couple of new spots in the Grenfell area the progress towards eradication is on track. Areas previously red are converting to amber and some more amber zones are turning green. The laboratory continues to test up to 1,000 samples per day and there are about 10 properties coming up as positive daily. Nearly all these are inside vaccination buffers. See a report here: http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/agriculture/livestock/horse/influenza/epidemiologyThe testing for freedom from EI continues in the North-east of the state today with several areas approaching adequate testing levels to progress with rezoning from amber to green within the next few days. Clearance testing for Temora, Mudgee, Barmedman and Cooyal red zones is well advanced with those areas looking to be down graded to amber in the very near future.
