This spring the Animal Health Trust (AHT) launched the first nationwide surveillance scheme for equine grass sickness (EGS). The aim of the scheme is to record details of prospective and retrospective EGS cases dating back to the year 2000 in order to facilitate the proposed vaccine trial against Clostridium botulinum. This is a collaborative project with the Universities of Edinburgh and Liverpool and the Equine Grass Sickness Fund, generously funded by The Horse Trust.
