Besting a field of 29 starters to win the class, Deslauriers posted the fastest double clear effort riding Obelix R, a 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Lisa T. Silverman. “I had two very good ribbons in July, and it is always nice to end Spruce Meadows on a good note in preparation for the ‘Masters’ in September,” said Deslauriers. “It is great to have CAV- ALOR involved with Jump Canada. They have fantastic products, and it nice to be able to purchase them in North America.” As the CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for July, Deslauriers receives a gift certificate from the title sponsor CAVALOR Canada.

The department confirmed last week that the horse tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) earlier this month and died shortly afterward. The rare virus mainly affects horses and some bird species but can be transmitted to humans by an infected mosquito, similar to West Nile virus (WNV). The symptoms of the two viruses are also similar, ranging from a mild flu-like illness to coma and death. Not many people know about EEE because it is rarely found in Ontario. However, for humans who do contract the virus, the mortality rate is about 1 in 3. There have also been two positive tests for WNV in birds reported in Durham Region this summer. However, horse to human transmission by an infected mosquito is extremely rare, due to the small amount of the virus found in equine bloodstreams. A vaccine for horses is available, however, not for humans at this time. Infection is most common in swampy areas which provide a breeding ground for the mosquitoes that transmit the viruses. According to Dr.Robert Kyle, Durham Region’s Medical Officer of Health, residents of and near Lake Scugog are not at increased risk, since the mosquito which transmits the disease from birds to humans (a different species of mosquito carries the virus from birds to horses) lives in warmer regions such as the southern U.S. The following precautions are advised: • Avoid areas with high mosquito populations; • Stay inside from dusk to dawn when mosquitoes are most active; • Use a mosquito repellent with DEET, carefully following manufacturers instructions; • Wear light-coloured clothing (mosquitoes are attracted to darker colours), • Cover skin with long sleeves and pants, socks and a hat to cover exposed skin; • Check all windows and doors in the home for holes tight fitting screens • Empty stagnant water around the outside of your home (Mosquitos often breed in shallow still water) ——————- Source: By Blake Wolfe/The Scugog Standard
