Two horses died this week after being infected with eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEE or EEEv), a severe, mosquito-borne disease, in the Tomah area, according to the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Lab.

The lab, housed at UW-Madison, discovered eastern equine encephalitis virus in the brain tissue of the horses, which were last vaccinated in the fall of 2016. The virus is deadly in horses about 90 percent of the time.

The disease can also be transmitted to humans, in rare cases. The virus, which is typically transmitted between birds, can be carried to and between horses and humans via mosquitoes. If a human contracts the virus, there is a 33 percent mortality rate, with a risk of significant brain damage in many survivors, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The spread of the virus is prompted by especially warm and humid weather. Last year [2016], the virus infected 19 horses in 11 Wisconsin counties, according to the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

Keith Poulsen, a large animal veterinarian at the lab, recommends that horses be vaccinated in the spring, to prepare for mosquito season.

This is the 2nd time in the past week that horses have died of mosquito-borne viruses.

The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection announced on Monday [24 Jul 2017] that a horse was euthanized in central Wisconsin after being infected with the West Nile virus.

[Most people vaccinate horses in the spring, but the immunity to EEE wanes very quickly, and it is recommended to vaccinate approximately every 4 months to ensure that your animal is protected. - Mod.TG

GDUFA Guidance Document/ Public Workshop on the Use of Real World Evidence

FDA/CDER's Small Business and Industry Assistance (CDER SBIA)

GDUFA Guidance Document/ Public Workshop on the Use of Real World Evidence

FDA has issued this guidance document to provide answers to questions arising from the implementation of the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2012 (GDUFA). FDA is issuing the final guidance as two separate guidances. This guidance includes questions and answers related to self-identification, review of generic drug submissions, and inspections and compliance. It clarifies some of the questions and answers included in the previous versions based on FDA’s experience in implementing GDUFA. Questions and answers related to GDUFA’s user fee provisions that appeared in draft versions of this guidance appear in updated form in Guidance for Industry: Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2012: Questions and Answers Related to User Fee Assessments (Nov. 21, 2016). 
The questions and answers are grouped below in the following categories:
  • Self-identification of facilities, sites and organizations 
  • Review of generic drug submissions 
  • Inspections and compliance 
This guidance is one in a series of GDUFA communications. Other communications, including guidances and Federal Register notices are available on our GDUFA webpage.

The FDA is announcing the following public workshop entitled ‘‘Developing a Framework for Regulatory Use of Real-World Evidence.’’ Convened by the Duke-Robert J. Margolis, MD, Center for Health Policy at Duke University and supported by a cooperative agreement with FDA, the purpose of the public workshop is to bring the stakeholder community together to discuss a variety of topics related to the use of real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) in drug development and regulatory decision making. Topics will include an update on FDA’s activities to address the use of RWE in regulatory decisions and the development of a framework for tackling challenges related to RWE’s regulatory acceptability. In addition, panelists will discuss opportunities to improve data development activities, study designs, and analytical methods used to create robust RWE.
The public workshop will be held on September 13, 2017, from 9 AM to 4:30 PM Eastern Time at the Conference Center at 1777 F Street NW., Washington, DC 20006. There will also be a live webcast for those unable to attend the meeting in person.
