Wisconsin and Delaware have reported their first cases of West Nile Virus in horses this year.
The virus, spread by mosquito bites, can cause brain inflammation and is fatal in 30-40% of symptomatic horses.
Symptoms include fever and coordination loss.
Both states advise horse owners to vaccinate their animals and take measures to avoid mosquitoes, such as using repellents and eliminating standing water.
The virus can also infect humans but cannot be directly transmitted between horses and people.
