The Oregon football team had some extra pep in its step Wednesday, the team’s first practice of preseason camp in “shells” – with shoulder pads on in addition to helmets. The defense seemed particularly energized by the ability to finally do some hitting, albeit without tackling to the ground. But both sides raised their level as compared to Tuesday, as an effusive Mark Helfrich noted in his post-practice remarks to the team. “If we continue to make strides like we did from yesterday to today, how good can we be?” Helfrich asked his players, before answering: “Scary.”

A Deschutes County horse has tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV), marking the first detection of the disease in Oregon horses for the 2016 season. The affected horse is a 14-year old mare with no history of vaccination for WNV. The horse is under veterinary care and is responding to treatment. Last year, six horses in Oregon were confirmed to be infected with WNV. “Horses become infected with the virus the same way humans become infected, by being bitten by infected mosquitoes,” says Brad LeaMaster, State Veterinarian with the Oregon Department of Agriculture. “I would like to take this opportunity to remind horse owners to contact their local veterinarian regarding proper West Nile Virus vaccination protocols during this time of increased risk.” Along with vaccination, horse owners can protect their animals by controlling mosquitoes and mosquito breeding areas. Approved repellents can also provide temporary protection.
