Strangles in Horses
•
3 likes•4,006 views
Strangles is a disease in horses that causes nasal discharge, decreased appetite, fever, and swelling of lymph nodes. Left untreated, the swollen lymph nodes can rupture and drain pus within 7-14 days. Vaccination helps prevent strangles and lessen its symptoms. To diagnose, veterinarians perform blood tests and monitor temperatures twice daily. Treatment includes antibiotics, draining fluid from lymph nodes, and surgically opening swollen nodes. Proper biosecurity protocols like quarantining new horses and preventing equipment sharing between stables can also help control the spread of strangles.

Equine strangles
Strangles is a highly contagious bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus equi subspecies equi that commonly affects young horses. It primarily causes fever and swelling of the lymph nodes in the head and neck. While most horses recover without complications, the disease can spread easily through nasal discharge from infected or carrier horses. Proper outbreak management includes isolation of sick horses, thorough disinfection, and vaccination to help control spread.
Strangles handout
Strangles is a highly contagious upper respiratory infection of horses caused by Streptococcus equi bacteria. It spreads easily through nasal discharge of infected horses. Clinical signs include fever, enlarged lymph nodes in the throat that can abscess and rupture, and nasal discharge that starts clear but becomes thick and pus-filled. Treatment focuses on supportive care with NSAIDs to reduce fever and encourage drainage of abscesses. Strict isolation of infected horses and thorough disinfection of equipment is important to control the spread. Vaccination can help prevent infection.
Strangels
Strangles is an infectious disease of horses caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi. It is characterized by abscesses forming in the lymph nodes of the upper respiratory tract. The disease spreads through direct contact with infected secretions. Clinical signs include fever and swelling of lymph nodes under the jaw and in the throat. Without treatment, abscesses may form in the throat area and spread infection to other organs in severe cases. Antibiotics like penicillin are usually prescribed to treat the disease.
Respiratory diseases of horses
This document provides information from Dr. Ajith Y. MVSc PhD about equine respiratory medicine and diseases. It lists textbooks and journals on the topic. It then discusses anatomy and physiology protective mechanisms in horses' respiratory systems. Common respiratory infections and diseases are outlined, along with diagnostic techniques like cytology, endoscopy, and imaging. Specific conditions covered include sinusitis, guttural pouch diseases, laryngeal hemiplegia, inflammatory airway disease, and heaves. Treatment approaches for various respiratory diseases are also summarized.
Parvo viral infection
Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious and relatively common cause of acute, infectious GI illness in young dogs. Although its exact origin is unknown, it is believed to have arisen from feline panleukopenia virus or a related parvovirus of nondomestic animals. It is a nonenveloped, single-stranded DNA virus, resistant to many common detergents and disinfectants, as well as to changes in temperature and pH. Infectious CPV can persist indoors at room temperature for at least 2 mo; outdoors, if protected from sunlight and desiccation, it can persist for many months and possibly years.
Canine Distemper
Canine distemper is a highly contagious viral disease that affects multiple carnivore species. It is characterized by fever, respiratory and gastrointestinal issues, and neurological complications. While vaccination has reduced cases, it remains a major disease. The virus is transmitted through respiratory droplets and infected bodily fluids. Puppies and unvaccinated dogs are most at risk. Treatment focuses on supportive care, though the virus can cause lasting issues in survivors. Widespread vaccination is important to control the disease.

ICAWC 2013 - Sarcoptic and Demodectic Mange - David Grant
Demodectic and sarcoptic mange are parasitic skin diseases caused by mites. Canine demodicosis is caused by Demodex canis mites and generally presents in young dogs, though some cases occur in older dogs. It is not contagious between dogs. Canine scabies is caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mites and is highly contagious between dogs. It causes severe itching that escalates over time. Both diseases can be diagnosed via skin scrapings and treated with licensed products. Canine demodicosis can be difficult to cure and require multiple treatments, while canine scabies usually responds well to treatment with high cure rates.
Traumatic reticuloperitonitis , traumatic pericarditis
The document summarizes traumatic reticular perforation (TRP) in cattle. TRP occurs when a sharp foreign body penetrates the wall of the reticulum, causing acute local peritonitis. Clinical signs include abdominal pain, anorexia, and fever. Diagnosis involves abdominal ultrasound or laparoscopy to detect foreign bodies. Treatment involves surgical removal of foreign bodies via rumenotomy. Complications can include peritonitis, abscesses, and traumatic pericarditis if the foreign body penetrates the diaphragm. Prognosis is poor if complications like pericarditis develop.
Affection of horn
The document discusses horn anatomy and affections in cattle. It notes that horns are formed by the frontal bones and become hollow. The base is thin and the horn thickens towards the apex. Blood and nerve supply are described. Major horn affections include avulsion, fracture, and horn cancer. Treatment for fractures may include amputation. Dehorning involves removing the horn at the base through elliptical incision and sawing. Disbudding young calves removes small horn buds using a caustic compound or hot iron. Procedures are done with local anesthesia and analgesia.
Bovine theileriosis
1) Bovine theileriosis is caused by tick-borne protozoan parasites of the genus Theileria, including T. annulata, T. mutans, and T. parva.
2) Clinical signs include fever, lymphadenopathy, and swelling of the lymph nodes. Postmortem findings include splenic enlargement and lymphoid hyperplasia.
3) Diagnosis involves identifying the parasites in blood and lymph node smears via microscopy. Differential diagnosis includes other tick-borne diseases like heartwater and babesiosis.
GLANDERS
This document discusses glanders, a disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia mallei that affects solipeds like horses and donkeys. It presents in three main forms - nasal, cutaneous, and pulmonary. Symptoms include nasal discharge, skin nodules and ulcers, and pneumonia. Diagnosis involves isolating the bacterium or using tests like the mallein test. There is no vaccine and infected animals should be slaughtered to prevent spread, as the disease can also infect humans. Antibiotics may treat the infection but are not usually recommended due to risk of transmission and carrier status.
Infectious Canine Hepatitis
Infectious canine hepatitis is a contagious viral disease of dogs caused by canine adenovirus-1. Clinical signs vary from mild fever and congestion to severe depression, reduced white blood cells, and bleeding disorders. The virus replicates in the liver, causing liver damage and hemorrhaging. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs, virus isolation from body fluids, antigen detection, and histopathology showing intranuclear inclusion bodies in hepatocytes. Vaccination provides effective prevention and control of the disease.
Infectious Bovine Rhino Tracheitis
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis is a highly contagious viral disease of cattle that affects the respiratory and reproductive systems. It is caused by bovine herpesvirus 1, which has different strains that can cause respiratory disease, genital infections, abortions, or encephalitis. The disease spreads rapidly through nasal and genital secretions or aerosols and can cause pneumonia, conjunctivitis, ulcers, and abortions in cattle. Proper hygiene, quarantine of sick animals, and vaccination are important to control the spread of the disease.
Glanders
This document summarizes information about glanders, a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia mallei that primarily affects solipeds like horses and mules. It exists in two forms: glanders causes lesions in the nostrils and lungs, while farcy causes skin lesions on limbs. Humans can be infected through contact with infected animals via inhalation or skin abrasions. There is no vaccine for humans and treatment requires long-term antibiotics. In animals, affected individuals are culled and antibiotics like sulfadiazine and tetracycline are given, though fatality rates are high without treatment. The disease is endemic in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

Azoturia- Paralytic myoglobinuria-
Azoturia, also known as Monday morning disease or tying-up syndrome, is a metabolic muscular disorder in horses characterized by stiffness, lameness, and muscle swelling. It occurs after a period of at least 2 days rest when horses return to exercise on a full ration. The major cause is carbohydrate overloading from excessive glycogen buildup in muscles during rest, leading to lactic acid accumulation during subsequent exercise and muscle damage. Clinical signs range from poor performance to an inability to rise. Diagnosis involves detecting myoglobin in the urine and elevated muscle enzyme levels in blood. Treatment focuses on rest, pain relief, intravenous fluids, and thiamine supplementation.
Marek's disease in poultry
Marek's disease is a viral disease that affects young chickens. It is caused by a herpes virus spread through dander from infected birds. Clinical signs include lameness, paralysis, and tumors in lymph nodes and organs. The virus can survive for months in dander and litter. While there is no treatment, vaccination before 3 days of age can prevent tumors but not viral infection. Proper sanitation and isolation of infected birds are important for control.
Canine babesiosis Dr.Jibachha Sah,M.V.Sc ,Lecturer NPI
Babesiosis is the diseased state caused by the protozoal (single celled) parasites of the genus Babesia. Infection in a dog may occur by tick transmission, direct transmission via blood transfer from dog bites, blood transfusions, or transplacental transmission.
Presetation on rumen impaction lactic acidosis final osr
1. Rumen impaction occurs when there is a blockage of the rumen due to excessive or improper feeding, leading to conditions like rumen atony, diarrhea, and abdominal distension.
2. Grain overload/lactic acidosis is a common cause of rumen impaction in ruminants, occurring when large quantities of grains are consumed rapidly. This lowers rumen pH and favors growth of lactic acid producing bacteria, causing metabolic acidosis.
3. Clinical signs of rumen impaction/grain overload include depression, incoordination, diarrhea, dehydration, and potentially death. Post-mortem examination reveals porridge-like rumen contents, hemorrhages on
Anaplasmosis
1. Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease of cattle caused by the bacteria Anaplasma marginale. It is characterized by fever, weakness, anemia, emaciation, and jaundice.
2. The disease is transmitted by ticks of several genera and can also be spread mechanically by flies or contaminated surgical instruments.
3. Anaplasmosis causes major losses to cattle industries in tropical and subtropical regions. It infects red blood cells and clinical signs vary from mild to severe depending on factors like age and previous exposure.
Canine distemper
Canine distemper is a contagious viral disease of dogs caused by the canine distemper virus. It is characterized by two phases - a visceral phase with fever, nasal and ocular discharge, diarrhea, and skin lesions. This is followed by an encephalitic phase with neurological signs like seizures and paralysis. Microscopic examination shows inclusion bodies in tissues like lungs, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and nervous system. There is demyelination and inflammation in the brain. While it primarily affects puppies, adult dogs may later develop old dog encephalitis with severe lymphocytic inflammation in the brain. Diagnosis involves identifying clinical signs, lesions on post-mortem, and demonstration of viral antigen or

Enterotoxemia in sheep Goat
Enterotoxemia is caused by Clostridium perfringens type D bacteria. It occurs commonly in young lambs and kids and is characterized by diarrhea, depression, and nervous signs. The bacteria produces alpha and epsilon toxins that damage the intestinal epithelium, causing necrosis and toxemia. Clinical signs include fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and neurological signs such as tremors and convulsions. Treatment involves antibiotics, antitoxin serum, supportive therapy, and prevention through gradual diet changes and vaccination.
Equine diseases
Colic is a common equine disease characterized by abdominal pain. Signs include lying down more than usual, repeated getting up and lying down, pawing at the abdomen, and kicking at the abdomen. Treatment involves passing a nasogastric tube to relieve pain and check stomach contents, administering pain medication, and potentially surgery if pain is not responsive. Surgery is considered based on factors like history, reflux, rectal exam findings, and response to analgesia. Laminitis presents with lameness and a history of excessive grain intake or endotoxemia. Strangles is caused by Streptococcus equi and signs include fever, mucopurulent nasal discharge, and abscessation of lymph nodes.

المحاظرة الخامسة / معدية / دكتور اسعد / Epizootic lymphangitis
EPIZOOTIC LYMPHANGITIS is a chronic, contagious fungal disease that affects horses, donkeys, and mules. It is characterized by suppurative lymphangitis, lymphadenitis, and skin ulcers. The causative agent is the fungus Histoplasma farciminosum. The disease spreads through direct contact with infected animals or contact with contaminated soil or flies. Clinical signs include spreading skin lesions and lymphangitis along the limbs. Diagnosis involves identifying the fungus microscopically or through culture. Treatment has limited success. Control relies on identifying and destroying infected animals, quarantining other animals, and disinfecting equipment.
Purpura haemorrhagica
Purpura hemorrhagica is a rare complication of equine strangles that is caused by bleeding from capillaries, resulting in red spots on the skin and swelling. It is more common in younger horses and can be fatal. The immune system damages blood vessel walls, causing leakage of blood into tissues and swelling of the head, legs, and underbelly. Severe cases can involve skin necrosis and sloughing. Treatment focuses on resolving underlying infections, using corticosteroids and diuretics. Prognosis depends on severity, and complications can be fatal.
Strangles
Strangles is a highly contagious bacterial infection of horses caused by Streptococcus equi. The disease causes fever and abscesses in the lymph nodes of the head and neck. It is spread through direct contact with infected or carrier horses. While some horses show mild symptoms, it can also be severe and even fatal in some cases. Treatment involves draining abscesses. Vaccines are available but do not provide complete protection, and the bacteria can persist in some horses as long-term carriers.
Streptococcus equi field trial data
MBS is seeking a commercial partner to bring a stall side assay for the detection of Strep equi (Strangles) to market. MBS brings validated antibody reagents and years of R&D to the partnership. A review of data from a recent field trial of the antibodies in a lateral flow format makes a compelling case for the utility of the assay for the control of Strangles outbreaks
Ulcerative lymphangitis
This document discusses two infectious diseases that affect horses and cattle: ulcerative lymphangitis and sporotrichosis. Ulcerative lymphangitis is caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and causes skin ulcers and lymph vessel involvement in the limbs, leading to swelling, nodule formation, and ulceration with bloody discharge. It is typically treated with antibiotics and wound drainage. Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection caused by Sporothrix schenckii that forms cutaneous nodules and ulcers on the limbs and may cause lymphangitis.

It summarizes that as of the date, there were 4 quarantined facilities in Utah with 7 confirmed and 8 suspect EHV-1 cases, and 2 horses euthanized. A total of 51 horses across 9 states had confirmed EHV-1 infections, with 8 horses euthanized. EHV-1 can cause respiratory disease, abortion, or potentially fatal neurological disease. The document reviews the clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, vaccination protocols, and control measures to limit further spread during an outbreak.
Cardiovascular and hemolynphatic diseases word printable
This document summarizes various diseases of the cardiovascular and hemolymphatic systems in horses. It describes the pathogenesis, clinical signs, lesions, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions like congestive heart failure, acute heart failure, peripheral circulatory failure, valvular diseases, endocarditis, pericarditis, septal defects, and hemolymphatic diseases like anemia and hemorrhage. Key points include that congestive heart failure develops when the heart can no longer maintain circulatory equilibrium at rest, valvular diseases cause murmurs from turbulent blood flow, endocarditis can be caused by bacterial infection of heart valves, and anemia results from a decrease in circulating blood volume.

Vocalization in Horses
Horses communicate through vocalizations that provide information about their identity, physical state, and motivation. Different vocalizations are acoustically distinct and contain expressive components that vary in frequency and duration. Being able to differentiate between distress and positive vocalizations can help horse owners strengthen their bond with horses. Studies analyze the acoustic properties of whinnies, nickers, squeals, groans, blows, and snorts to better define equine communication through vocalizations.
Track Surfaces
Sand makes for the best race track surface according to the document. It has good hardness, structural damping, and friction damping properties which helps reduce hoof impact and shock on horses. Sand can also control friction by adding or removing water, unlike other surfaces like wood chips. While other materials like asphalt, gravel, and wood saw dust are cheaper, they are much harder on horses' hooves, joints and tendons over time.
Blood-derived Stem Cells for Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon Injuries in Ho...
Blood-derived Stem Cells for Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon Injuries in Ho...Iowa State University
This document discusses using blood-derived stem cell treatment for superficial digital flexor tendon injuries in horses. The treatment involves collecting a blood sample from a horse's lower limbs, isolating the nucleated blood cell fraction, incubating the cells to stimulate growth, and then injecting the grown cells into the injured tendon site. A study found that after 3-6 months, horses that received the stem cell treatment showed excellent regeneration of new tendon tissue compared to their condition at the time of diagnosis based on ultrasound images. The treatment can quickly repair tendon injuries by regenerating new, high quality tissue.Osteochondritis Dissecans in Horses
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a joint disease in horses that causes sudden joint swelling and lameness. Horses with OCD may exhibit stiff movement and shortened strides due to joint distention, which is the most common symptom. OCD can affect the femoropatellar, tarsocrural, and fetlock joints. Treatment options include conservative management or arthroscopic surgery depending on the location and severity of the lesions.
Equine Coat Color Genetics
This document summarizes equine coat color genetics. It defines key genetics terms and describes the loci and alleles that determine the major base coat colors like black, bay, chestnut and gray. It also explains the dilution genes that produce colors like buckskin, palomino and cremello. Finally, it outlines the genetics behind white patterns like overo, tobiano and sabino as well as other coat patterns like leopard complex, roan and dun. Genetic testing can be used to identify an horse's coat color and pattern genes to aid in selective breeding and check for potential genetic disorders.
Navicular in Horses
Navicular disease is a chronic condition affecting the navicular bone in the rear hooves of horses that causes severe heel pain. It is most commonly seen in Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, and Quarter Horses between 7-14 years old, and affects geldings more than other horses. Clinical signs include a short, choppy gait; toe-first landing; increased digital pulse; and pain that worsens with work. Treatment options aim to reduce stress on the navicular bone through minimal exercise, corrective shoeing, joint injections, or digital neurectomy. Genetics are believed to play a role in predisposition to navicular disease.
Leptospirosis in Horses
Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can cause a condition called Equine Recurrent Uveitis (ERU), also known as moon blindness or periodic ophthalmia, in horses. The bacteria is shed through the urine of carrier mammals like rats and can infect horses when they come into contact with contaminated water or soil. While classic Leptospirosis often causes mild to severe symptoms in foals and adults, ERU occurs weeks to months after initial infection and is characterized by periodic inflammation of the uvea of the eye, causing pain. There is no vaccine to prevent leptospirosis in horses, but antibiotics like penicillin and streptomycin can treat the infection and early intervention improves prognosis for E
Equine Neglect
Over 6,800 equine investigations were conducted between 2007 and 2009, with neglect being the most common reason. Neglect cases primarily involved horses with a body condition score of less than 3, typically due to owner ignorance, economic hardship, or lack of responsibility.
Infrared Thermography in Horses
This document discusses a study that used infrared thermography to detect differences in corneal and extremity temperatures in horses based on breed, coat color, and purpose. The study found no difference in corneal temperature based on these factors but did find that sporting horses had higher skin surface temperatures on their extremities while gray horses had lower temperatures. Key results included the highest skin temperature being at the heel bulb and temperatures being 1 degree Celsius warmer on the forelegs compared to the hindlegs. The aim was to evaluate infrared technology's ability to detect the effects of various horse characteristics.
