A cross-sectional study of horse owners’ awareness and perceived risk of exotic diseases in the United Kingdom (2019)
Journal Article
Spence, K. L., Slater, J. D., Rosanowski, S. M., & Cardwell, J. M. (2019). A cross-sectional study of horse owners’ awareness and perceived risk of exotic diseases in the United Kingdom. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2019.104706

The international nature of the equine industry provides opportunities for the spread of infectious diseases between countries. While incursions of exotic diseases into the United Kingdom (UK) equine population have been rare, the potential socioecon...
