Coggins Test Emphasized For Equine Disease Control
Veterinarian Leroy Coggins and his team developed the diagnostic test at Cornell University in the 1970s and its adoption has reduced EIA spread. South Carolina officials urge ongoing testing as many horses have never been tested. State rules require a negative Coggins within 12 months for horses at public assemblies and for those moving between premises or across state lines. Melissa Hanna is executive editor of the Aiken Standard and North Augusta Star.
