Rapid Diagnosis of Equine Infectious Respiratory Disease

چکیده
Comments/Suggestions to: Michelle Kryska [email protected] Equine infectious respiratory disease is common worldwide, is often contagious, and is caused by several viruses and bacteria. Fever, cough, nasal discharge, and lethargy are signs of respiratory disease. Infectious respiratory disease in horses is seen in all months of the year, but it is most commonly encountered in the months of spring. The disease is often seen in facilities, or after events, that congregate horses. Viruses such as equine influenza virus (EIV), equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV1), equine herpesvirus-4 (EHV-4) and equine arteritis virus (EAV) all play a role, as do bacterial agents including Rhodococcus equi and Streptococcus equi subspecies equi and zooepidemicus.

متن کاملRapid diagnosis of equine influenza by highly sensitive silver amplification immunochromatography system
Equine influenza (EI) is a respiratory disease caused by equine influenza A virus (EIV, H3N8) infection. Rapid diagnosis is essential to limit the disease spread. We previously reported that some rapid antigen detection (RAD) tests are fit for diagnosing EI although their sensitivity is not optimal. Here, we evaluated the performance of the newly developed RAD test using silver amplification immu...

Equine infectious anemia is an equine disease caused by equine infectious anemia virus, which was first reported in 1840. Equine infectious anemia virus research in China started in the 1960s, focusing on etiology, pathology, diagnosis, and immunology. Notably, in 1978 an attenuated vaccine was successfully developed for equine infectious anemia virus, effectively preventing equine infectious a...

We retrospectively demonstrated that an outbreak of severe respiratory disease in a pack of English foxhounds in the United Kingdom in September 2002 was caused by an equine influenza A virus (H3N8). We also demonstrated that canine respiratory tissue possesses the relevant receptors for infection with equine influenza virus.
