==Treatment==

No specific treatment or vaccine for EIA is available and strict procedures for affected horses are enforced in the UK. Any horse that is suspected to be infected with EIA must be reported to the appropriate divisional veterinary manager of DEFRA. DEFRA policy is that horses with confirmed (tested) EIA must be slaughtered under Section 32 of the Animal Health Act 1981. Horses that have been in close contact with diseased animals must be kept in isolation for 90 days and tested on a monthly basis with regular veterinary assessment. After this period of testing, restrictions may be lifted if no disease is found.
