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 genetic sex of two intersexual horses and some notes on the karyotype of normal horses. Two intersex horses were characterized externally by vulva and “enlarged clitoris-hypoplastic penis” and internally by uterus and testicles. Both had a normal female karyotype 64/XX. One of the horses whose body measurements were in accordance with mares of the same breed, showed a distinct stallion behaviour.
Döhle bodies in neutrophils of a horse. Döhle bodies were observed in a horse suffering from a chronic pleurisy. The bodies were demonstrated in about 80 % of the neutro-phils in blood smears prepared during an acute flare-up of the disease. One to 4 bodies were found in each cell, situated in the periphery of the cytoplasm. The size of the bodies was 1–3 μ and the shape rodlike or oval. They stained blue with M-G-G. Blood smears were examined from 50 horses suffering from various diseases, but Döhle bodies could not be demonstrated in any of these cases. Döhle-Körperchen wurden bei einem Pferd mit chronischer Pleuritis beoba...

Field strains of western encephalitis virus in ponies: virologic, clinical, and pathologic observations. Four field strains of western encephalitis virus were inoculated subcutaneously or intracranially (i/c) into recently weaned ponies. After s/c inoculation, 3 of the 4 strains produced an inapparent infection with a short period of viraemia. The 4th strain produced viraemia, fever, and signs of central nervous system disease. Viraemia occurred after intracranial inoculation with each strain; however, a variation in clinical response occurred, ranging from an inapparent infection to death. The disease pattern was characterized by three successive phases: viraemia, increased body temperature, and...
