    The response I would give:

    a. This new bacteria most likely caused this 'mysterious' disease, as both are unprecedented.

    b. Test 5 more horses, and see whether they also carry this same new bacteria.

    I'm sure there are more effective tests, like maybe grow the bacteria in a lab and test it on other creatures, but the question of animal cruelty then arises.
