Conteúdo: 	The Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) is an incurable disease caused by a virus belonging to the genus of the AIDS virus (Lentivirus, family Retroviridae). EIA has a high prevalence in the Brazilian Pantanal and recently Borges at al. [1] have found highly distinct values for the disease prevalence in non-flooded and flooded farm areas, which are 0.85% and 42.10%, respectively. This phenomenon has been credited to a much higher population of the insect vector, the horseflies (Tabanus sp.), on wetlands when coupled with warm temperatures. Based on the literature we redefined the values of the model parameters presented in [2], emphasizing the probability of EIA transmission by the insect vector. From simulation scenarios we showed that the high prevalence of the disease could not be attributed only to horseflies. In fact, we found that the insect vector has an almost negligible role in the disease transmission process and we concluded that it is necessary to examine carefully the management of animals in the flooded regions.
