Abstract
On Friday 26 May 2017, Biosecurity Queensland announced that an unvaccinated horse in the Gold Coast hinterland had been euthanased following a positive detection of Hendra virus.1 This was the first Hendra virus case for the year and serves as a reminder to horse owners, veterinarians and allied workers to protect themselves and their animals. Given similarities between current environmental conditions and those that preceded a surge of spillover events in 2011, it may be worthwhile to be especially vigilant this year.
