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.
Results of inoculating Okinawan horses with the virus of Japanese B encephalitis. No abstract available
A specific arthritis with pericarditis affecting horses in Tasmania. THE disease that forms the subject of this
paper was first described by one of us in 1944
( Rainey, 1944 ).
Observation by us since then. separately
and in consnltation, of ,further calses of t'his
disease has enabled us to correct -0y amplify
the original description. For instance, ye know
now that although young horses have constituted
the bulk of the cases seen by us, old animals
may also suffer. We observed recently an
acute case in a seventeen-year-old gelding.
In our experience only heavy or half-bred
horses have been affected j we have observed
no case among horses of the t...
[Xenodiagnostic in equine habronemosis; Study of helminth larvae]. Xenodiagnosis for habronemosis was 96,6% positive in 87 stud horses at Instituto Oswaldo Cuz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from July-November, 1944. The A A. were unable to identify the Habronema larvae obtained from parasitider fly maggots. Measurements and drawings of the larvae are presented.
The Course of Experimental Infection of the Chick Embryo with the Virus of Equine Encephalomyelitis. The titration curve for the virus of Eastern equine encephalomyelitis inoculated into the 10 day old chick embryo shows that the maximum increase in virus content continues until shortly before the generalized destruction of the embryo is apparent. This is followed by a stationary phase. Histological studies of infected embryos fail to demonstrate selective tissue destruction, and titrations show the virus to be distributed throughout the egg, although concentrated in the embryo. The chorioallantoic membrane gradually becomes increasingly resistant with age to both the Eastern and Western viru...
