Mysterious disease strikes seven horses in Maryland
In Montgomery County near Washington at least seven horses died and 40 more fell ill with a disease labeled Potomac Fever by state and federal experts. The Maryland Department of Agriculture and the National Animal Disease Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, investigate as officials say the cause is unknown. The illness triggers severe diarrhea and can kill in two to three days, leading to humane destruction of affected animals. Dr Wayne Shipley notes uncertainty while Dr J C Shook says authorities have studied similar cases for four years.
