Qld: Hendra victim remains in critical condition
A Rockhampton vet remains critically ill with the Hendra virus following an outbreak
at a central Queensland horse stud.
Vet ALISTER RODGERS is listed as critical but stable in Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital.
Three stud workers from the quarantined J4S horse stud in Cawarral are in the same
hospital .. but have so far tested negative for Hendra.
Two horses that died at the property earlier this month were found to have the virus
.. and a third that tested positive yesterday will be put down.
A foal that died last month is also believed to have had Hendra.
