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.
The response of ponies to Myxovirus influenzae A-equi 2. I. Serum and nasal antibody titres following exposure. The antibody response in serum and nasal secretions of groups of ponies vaccinated or infected with Myxovirus influenzae A-equi 2 was examined. Following infection by aerosol with live virus, a weak antibody response was recorded in both serum and secretions. Antibody levels were undetectable in secretions at 31 days after infection. After primary intramuscular vaccination with killed virus, using sodium alginate as an adjuvant, antibody was detected only in the serum. However, following revaccination, a pronounced antibody response was demonstrated in both serum and secretions. Antibody was s...
The response of ponies to Myxovirus influenzae A-equi 2. II. Immunoglobulin classes of antibody to the virus in serum and nasal secretions. Nasal secretions and serum were collected from ponies in order to determine the types of immunoglobulins responsible for antibody activity against Myxovirus influenzae A-equi 2. Using specific antisera to remove each immunoglobulin, the antiviral activity of serum was shown to be a property of IgG globulin, whereas in nasal secretions activity was found in both IgG and IgG(T) globulins. However in secretions the predominant activity was attributed to IgG(T) globulin. Because of its sensitivity to 2 mercaptoethanol, early serum antibody was assumed to belong to the IgM class of immunoglobulins....
WHO collaborative studies on enterovirus reference antisera. Third report. This paper smmarizes the results of the third part of co-operative studies undertaken by the WHO International Reference Centre for Enteroviruses and a number of WHO Regional Virus Reference Centres and WHO Virus Collaborating Laboratories and other laboratories in a comprehensive testing programme of enterovirus equine antisera prepared for long-term use as reference antisera. The studies were designed to appraise the specificity of the immune serum of horses inoculated with prototype enteroviruses (coxsackie-viruses A1, A5, A6, A12 and A22 and echoviruses 5, 6, 13-16, 18-20, 22-26, 29 and 32...
