EIDS. UPDATE ON EQUINE INFLUENZA OUTBREAKS DETECTED IN THE UK APRIL-MAY 2026. Equine Infectious Disease Surveillance
EIDS continue to receive notifications of equine influenza (EI) outbreaks from across the UK, and we thank veterinary practitioners for their ongoing support with case reporting and submission of outbreak information. Continued surveillance and timely reporting remain essential for monitoring national disease activity and informing the wider equine sector. Since the beginning of April 2026, a total of 60 laboratory confirmed EI outbreaks have been identified across 34 counties, demonstrating sustained national circulation of equine influenza virus.
