Australian hemorragic viral disease

[BOB MCLEAN]

Recently in the popular press, there have been stories about a mysterious virus
in Australia that killed a number of horses and a human.  From accounts in the
local newspapers in Texas, this virus was related to canine distemper and
measles.  Does anyone have any information on this virus?
