EI in the United Kingdom in 2020-2024 was characterised by a notable October to December risk window and strong links to horse movements. Trade in non-pure-bred horses aligns with outbreak timing and partly explains the seasonal excess. Control measures should prioritise vaccination of new arrivals, post-arrival quarantine and strengthened biosecurity during transport.
