Recently the state of Michigan has updated the import requirements for horses originating from states that have had cases of equine piroplasmosis (EP) in the last 12 months. Testing for equine piroplasmosis is no longer required, however horses entering Michigan from states that have had cases of EP in the past 12 months must be accompanied by an interstate health certificate or a veterinary inspection signed by an accredited veterinarian that includes the following statement:
I HAVE EXAMINED THE ANIMAL(S) LISTED ON THIS CERTIFICATE. AT THE TIME OF THE EXAMINATION, THE ANIMAL(S) LISTED ON THIS CERTIFICATE IS/ARE NOT UNDER QUARANTINE FOR PIROPLASMOSIS, NOT DISPLAYING SIGNS OF PIROPLASMOSIS, AND WITHER DID NOT HAVE EVIDENCE OF LIVE TICKS OR WAS/WERE SUCCESSFULLY TREATED FOR TICKS IF TICKS WERE PRESENT."
