In early December 1986 A-equi-2 influenza virus was isolated for the first time in the Republic of South Africa in the Transvaal and Cape Province. All horses were susceptible to the highly contagious aerosol-borne orthomyxovirus resulting in widespread outbreaks of equine influenza with typical primary respiratory symptoms. Treatment consisted of rest, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics and good nursing. Future protection can be obtained by vaccination.
