  "summary": "New Brunswick has issued an equine health advisory following a potential virus exposure at a horse show in Sussex earlier this month. The province's chief veterinary officer warned exhibitors, horse owners, and trainers who attended the 4-H Round Up Show at the King’s County Fair Draft Horse Show about the risk of Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1), which can cause respiratory disease, neurological disease, and pregnancy loss in horses. Despite the horse that tested positive for EHV-1 not being present at the show, there remains a risk of exposure, and the veterinarian advises isolating affected horses for 14 to 21 days and monitoring them closely for symptoms.",
