Topic:Disease Diagnosis
Disease diagnosis in horses involves the identification and characterization of illnesses through various diagnostic methods and tools. This process is essential for effective veterinary care and management of equine health. Techniques used in diagnosing diseases in horses include clinical examinations, laboratory tests, imaging modalities such as ultrasonography and radiography, and molecular diagnostics. Blood tests are frequently utilized to assess parameters such as complete blood count and biochemical profiles, which can indicate underlying health issues. Additionally, advancements in genetic testing and biomarker identification have enhanced the ability to detect specific diseases early. This page aggregates peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore diagnostic methodologies, their applications, and their impact on equine health management.
Reticuloendothelial clearance studies in the course of horse serum induced nephritis. Assessment of changes in activity of the reticuloendothelial system (RES), including the mesangial cells of the kidney, has been made by means of clearance studies of human aggregated gamma-globulin and of colloidal gold, during the course of horse serum sickness nephritis. RES blockade was found after protein loading and at the phase of circulating immune complexes. At other times RES activity was normal or increased. “Mesangial saturation” may have important implications for human nephritis.
Detection of tumor-specific antigens in an equine sarcoid cell line. Indirect immunofluorescence and lymphocyte cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated the presence of a tumor-specific antigen(s) on the surface of cells from an equine sarcoid cell line (Mc1). Autologous serum (taken from the horse from which the Mc1 cells were derived) and sera from three other sarcoid-bearing horses revealed a similar membrane immunofluorescence when reacted with Mc1 cells, indicating the existence of cross-reacting antibodies. Results of serum colony inhibition experiments indicate that these antibodies are not cytotoxic. Incubation of Mc1 cells with autologous lymphocytes resu...
Phycomycotic granuloma in horses in the Northern Territory. Under the title “Equine Granuloma in the
Northern Territory of Australia” Lewis (1914)
gave an account of a disease of horses otherwise
known as “swamp cancer”. A variety of superficial sites are affected but these are rarely above
the level of the shoulder joint and principally
involve the lower legs and the ventral aspect of the
thoracoabdominal wall. The lesions on the legs are
granulating ulcers, those on the body are subcutaneous swellings and both are characterised by
the presence of conspicuous necrotic cores or
“kunkers” in the inflammatory tissue.
