The Coggins test submission form, which requires identification of the horse's physical appearance. The Coggins test (agar immunodiffusion) is a sensitive diagnostic test for equine infectious anemia developed by Dr. Leroy Coggins in the 1970s. Currently, the US does not have an eradication program due to the low rate of incidence.
Leroy Coggins (1932–2013) was a virologist who developed tests for African swine fever and equine infectious anemia. The latter is now known as the Coggins Test and a "negative Coggins" is commonly required when horses are sold or transported in the US. [1] [2] [3] [4]

1970: The Coggins test, a blood test to identify if a horse is a carrier of equine infectious anemia, a viral disease found in horses, is developed by Dr. Leroy Coggins and colleagues. Early 1980s: The James A. Baker Institute for Animal Health develops the modified live-virus vaccine for canine parvovirus type 2, still in use today.
Lentivirus is a genus of retroviruses that cause chronic and deadly diseases characterized by long incubation periods, in humans and other mammalian species. [2] The genus includes the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS.

Also in 2005, monitoring and eradication program for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) was made mandatory by PHILRACOM for all racehorses. Identification "passports" were also issued for all racehorses, including pedigrees, vaccination, laboratory test results, and other required information. [1]
ERV-Fc was an endogenous retrovirus (ERV), or a genus or family of them, related to the modern murine leukemia virus.It was active and infectious among many species of mammals in several orders, jumping species more than 20 times between about 33 million and about 15 million years ago, in the Oligocene and early Miocene, in all large areas of the world except for Australia and Antarctica.
