Equine Infectious Anemia is a contagious disease of horses that has, since the 1800's, resulted in outbreaks which killed large numbers of horses in many countries. There is no vaccination, so testing and either quarantine or euthanasia of infected horses is the current means of disease control. Horses with EIA can suffer from acute or chronic disease or even be inapparent carriers. The disease affects the horse's immune system and is caused by a virus related to HIV.
