• Ulcerative Lymphantgitis Ulcerative lymphangitis is a mildly contagious disease of horses characterised by inflammation of the lymphatic vessels of the lower limbs. Classical disease is caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, but similar lesions can be produced by other pyogenic bacteria. • Animal Network - Dryland Distemper Dryland distemper is also known as pigeon fever. The chest and underbelly become swollen, then abscesses form in these areas within one to four weeks. The duration of the disease varies from weeks to months, depending on the severity of the abscesses. • Steinbeck Country Equine Clinic - Pidgeon Fever One of the most commonly diagnosed bacterial problems in California (and several other western states) is dryland distemper, otherwise known as pigeon fever. This disease is caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and is seen worldwide. It usually is associated with very deep abscesses and multiple sores along the chest and midline. • IVIS - Equine Lyme Disease Equine Lyme Disease: A Review of Experimental Disease Production, Treatment Efficacy, and Vaccine Protection. Lyme disease (LD) is the most important arthropod-borne bacterial infection in the United States. Affecting horses, people, dogs, and cats, LD is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi [1-6]. • EPM - and the Prospects for an Effective Vaccine Equine Protozoal Myelitis - and the Prospects for an Effective Vaccine. During the past decade, equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM), caused by the protozoan parasite Sarcocystis neurona, has been one of the most visible and controversial diseases in the area of equine health. • IGS.net - Equine Recurrent Uveitis Information for the Horse Owner. This pamphlet has been compiled by a horse owner for other horse owners as a source of information on equine recurrent uveitis. The impetus for this project came from owners across the country seeking information on this disease and pooling their knowledge to help each other. • Dryland Distemper & Pigeon Fever One of the most commonly diagnosed bacterial problems in California (and several other western states) is dryland distemper, otherwise known as pigeon fever. This disease is caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and is seen worldwide. It usually is associated with very deep abscesses and multiple sores along the chest and midline. • Lyme Disease in Horses By Sandra L. Bushmich, MS, DVM - Lyme disease is a bacterial illness caused by the spirochetal (corkscrew shaped) bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. It is most commonly transmitted by the bite of infected Ixodes spp ticks, commonly referred to as "deer ticks" or "black legged ticks". • EPM - Equine Protozoal Myelitis EPM is a debilitating neurologic disease of horses. It can affect the brain, brainstem, spinal cord or any combination of these three areas of the central nervous system. Clinical signs may suggest focal or multifocal disease, which means the disease may affect a very small (focal) part of the central nervous system (CNS) or may parts of the CNS (multifocal). • Leptospirosis Testing in Horses Techniques were developed to use immunohistochemistry to demonstrate the expression of individual leptospiral antigens in the tissues of experimentally infected hamsters. It was demonstrated that certain antigens which are expressed in abundance in vitro are not expressed on organisms in vivo. First Prev [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ] Next Last |
