· Carried by horseflies · Horse fly is born with it · Gives the fly a longer lifespan so that the fly can spread the disease · Consumes the carrier from inside · The fly is born with a chunk of the virus inside of it · Each time the fly bites a horse, a miniscule(although large enough to kill an equine) amount of the virus into said horse · Once the fly has run out of the disease inside of it, it goes back to its normal fly life. Any horse bitten after that point will not have the disease (now I need to figure out how it is transmitted)
