				  viral arteritis is a manageable disease that can be prevented through a
				  vaccination program.
(2) If equine
				  test positive for EVA:
(a) The owner of
				  intact males over six months of age and equine reproductive products from
				  donors that test positive for EVA must comply with the United States Department
				  of Agriculture (USDA)

				  positive donors must be used or implanted only in vaccinated or seropositive
				  mares. These mares must be isolated for twenty-one days following insemination
				  or implantation.
