It's passed from horse to horse (no insect vector) and so the travel of horses ( and people and equipment in contact with them) can have a big effect on where it shows up next. It has been in No.Cal. for several months (Pleasanton, Bay Meadows), showed up at Los Alamitos racetrack south of Los Angeles last month: http://news.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=37024. and http://racehorsemagazine.com/managearticle.asp?C=314&A=4436 -- Lynn Kinsky, Santa Ynez, CA http://www.silcom.com/~lkinsky/
