Topic:Biosecurity

Biosecurity in horses involves a set of management practices aimed at preventing the introduction and spread of infectious diseases within equine populations. These practices encompass measures such as quarantine protocols, vaccination schedules, sanitation procedures, and the control of animal and human movement on equine facilities. Biosecurity strategies are designed to minimize the risk of disease transmission through direct contact, fomites, vectors, and environmental exposure. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the implementation, effectiveness, and challenges of biosecurity measures in equine management.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an emerging problem in horses; however, the epidemiology of infection and colonization is poorly understood. This study evaluated factors associated with MRSA colonization at the time of admission to a veterinary teaching hospital. A case-control study evaluating historical factors was performed. Previous colonization of the horse, previous identification of colonized horses on the farm, antimicrobial administration within 30 days, admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, and admission to a service other than the surgical service were...
