Deadly horse disease prompt sterilization in Japan camps
A mobile veterinary force is deployed to areas once held by Japan to stop equine anemia. The virulent disease killed about 1.5 percent of 4000 horses imported to Rabaul. All animals and birds in contact with diseased horses are being killed, and officials believe the outbreak is contained at its source. Risk to Australia remains low as the transmission insect requires close contact with an infected animal.
