Plain-English summary
In this case, a horse in south-west England was diagnosed with a neurological disease caused by an orthoflavivirus, which is a type of virus that can affect the nervous system. The horse showed signs of illness, and the veterinarians conducted various tests to understand the problem better. They carefully examined the horse's symptoms and used specific diagnostic methods to confirm the virus's presence. The outcome of the treatment and the horse's recovery were not detailed in the study.
