Topic:Diagnosis
Diagnosis in horses involves the systematic identification of diseases and conditions affecting equine health. This process relies on a combination of clinical evaluations, laboratory tests, imaging techniques, and other diagnostic tools to assess the health status of horses. Veterinarians utilize these methods to identify symptoms, determine the underlying causes of health issues, and formulate appropriate treatment plans. Diagnostic procedures in equine medicine can include blood tests, ultrasound, radiography, endoscopy, and more specialized tests such as genetic screening or advanced imaging modalities like MRI and CT scans. This page aggregates peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore various diagnostic techniques, their applications, and advancements in the field of equine veterinary medicine.
Antigenic variation of equine (Heq2Neq2) influenzavirus. Influenza equine (Heq2Neq2) strains isolated during the course of epizootics observed in Guanabara (Rio de Janeiro) and São Paulo, Brazil, in July-October 1969 were shown to differ antigenically from earlier strains of the same subtype (A/equine/Miami/1/63 (Heq2Neq2)). The difference could be clearly demonstrated in haemagglutination inhibition tests performed with postinfection horse or ferret sera but not with hyperimmune rooster sera. Antibody responses of diseased horses were higher and more frequent against current isolates than against strain equine/Miami/1/63. Some animals also showed ...
[A case of chronic fascioliasis in a horse]. A case of Fasciola hepática infection in a horse in Austria is reported. Faeces became negative for P. hepática eggs after the horse was given niclofolan orally at 300 mg. per kg. body-weight.
Characterization of an equine infectious anemia antigen extracted from infected horse spleen tissue. The spleens of horses infected with equine infectious anemia contain an antigen that is useful for a diagnostic immunodiffusion test. This antigen was extracted from the spleen by homogenization of the tissue, centrifugation, and precipitation from the supernatant fluid at 50% saturation with (NH(4))(2)SO(4). The antigen was purified by subjecting it to two cycles of electrophoresis in a continuous free-flow electrophoresis cell and finally filtering through a column of Sephadex G-200 gel. The antigen was found to be a small protein with a molecular weight of 27,500 and sedimentation coefficie...
