Excerpt from Dourine of Horses: Its Cause and Suppression After an expenditure of about the disease was considered to have been eradicated from that section Of the country. Five years later the infection again made its appearance in the same portion Of Nebraska, and early in 1899 the bureau again began the work of eradication. Many inspections were made and those animals which were found diseased were purchased and killed. Many obstacles were encountered and the disease evidently kept smoldering during 1900. In 1901 the infection appeared with increased vigor, this time in the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Indian Reservations in South Dakota, in addition to northern Nebraska, and more stringent measures were immediately inaugurated to control the spread of the disease. During the next year 10 diseased stallions and 76 diseased mares were pur chased and slaughtered and 29 diseased stallions were castrated. However, eradication in this region was extremely difficult, owing to the wild condition Of the country as well as of the horses and from the fact that many horse owners would try to conceal from the in spectors animals which they knew to be affected with the disease. This reappearance Of the disease among horses in Nebraska and South Dakota after it apparently had been stamped out caused a thor ough investigation of its latent qualities and other peculiarities, and as a result Veterinary Inspectors E. T. Davison and W. J. Fretz were stationed at Rushville, Nebr., with instructions to prosecute vigorously the work of eradication. In 1903 there were horses inspected, of which 511 were found diseased and were killed, while stallions were castrated. Careful and vigorous work was con tinued in this way, with the result that horses were inspected in 1905, but only 1 stallion and 8 mares were found suspicious and destroyed and 9 stallions castrated. During the year 1903 dourine was reported in Van Buren County, Iowa, and steps were immediately taken to stamp it out. As a result 410 horses were inspected, 2 exposed stallions were castrated, and 18 mares slaughtered. N 0 connection could be established between this outbreak and that in Nebraska, but it was quite definitely determined that an imported Percheron stallion purchased by a company of farmers was responsible for its appearance.
