Section 116.10
Testing of Illinois Equidae
When a single reactor
is disclosed on an official test within Illinois,
owners are required to submit all equidae within a
one and one half mile radius of the reactor for an
EIA test within three months. In the case of multiple
reactors, all equidae within a three mile radius of
the reactors shall be tested for EIA within three
months. Veterinarians employed by the Department will
do the testing at no cost to the owner. If the owner
wishes to have his or her private veterinarian
conduct the test, the State will not pay the private
veterinarian to do the testing, but will waive the
laboratory fee if the sample is submitted to a
Department operated laboratory. A retest of any
remaining equidae on the premises where a reactor was
disclosed and either shipped to slaughter or
euthanized, shall be conducted by the Department not
less than six months nor more than one year after the
reactor has left the premises.

Retesting of Reactors
The Department will
grant a retest of reactors upon request by the owner
or veterinarian. The retest must be conducted within
15 days of the original test.

Section 116.30
Quarantining of Reactors
If the owner of a
known reactor does not wish to have the reactor
euthanized or shipped to slaughter, the animal must
be quarantined for life. The reactor must be kept at
all times in an insect proof stall and cannot be
removed from this inclosure, except to be euthanized
or shipped to slaughter. All quarantined facilities
must be in place within 15 days of the confirmatory
test and be approved by the Department and will be
inspected on a regular basis to make sure that the
reactor is maintained under quarantine. If the
reactor is euthanized or shipped, it must be done
within ten days of the confirmatory test, and
reactors shipped to slaughter cannot be diverted en
route.

Section 116.50
Falsification of Records
No person shall change
the names, dates, description or phrases on an
official certificate of veterinary inspection or
equine infectious anemia test chart to evade the
provisions of the law. The veterinarian who
originally drew the blood for an equine infectious
anemia test may submit a corrected copy to the
laboratory that conducted the test with that
laboratory reissuing the official test report. This
corrected copy must be clearly marked as a corrected
copy.
