Equine veterinarians report on prevalance of certain equine pathogens

摘要

In a first study of its kind, veterinarians across the country reported on the prevalence of certain common pathogens among the equine population. Specifically, veterinarians collected blood and nasal discharges from 761 horses with acute infectious upper-respiratory-tract disease and/or acute onset of a neurological disease. The findings were published in the July 2011 issue of the Veterinary Record journal.
