The "Coggins Test" is a blood test that tests for exposure to the virus causing Equine Infectious Anemia, a very serious, sometimes fatal disease that is carried by blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes and flies. Symptoms include fever, depression and weight loss. Most states require any horse being transported to have a current Coggins test report ("current" varies from state to state - some are 6 months, some 12 - check with your state's agricultural department or your vet).
