The study of diseases in horses encompasses a wide range of conditions affecting equine health, including infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, and genetic abnormalities. These diseases can impact various systems within the horse, such as respiratory, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal systems, and can lead to significant health challenges. Research in this area focuses on understanding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of equine diseases. Common diseases studied include equine influenza, equine herpesvirus, and laminitis. This page provides access to peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the etiology, clinical presentation, and management strategies of diseases in horses, contributing to the advancement of equine veterinary medicine.

Identification of staphylococcal hemolysins by an electrophoretic localization technique. A technique for identifying and characterizing staphylococcal hemolysins by first separating them electrophoretically in barbital-buffered agar gel (pH 8.4) at 5 ma/cm for 2 hr and then determining their hemolytic activities by exposing them to human, horse, rabbit, and sheep erythrocytes is described. The alpha-hemolysin produced by a White variant of the Wood 46 strain of Staphylococcus aureus migrated 18 mm towards the cathode, and it lysed horse, rabbit, and sheep erythrocytes, whereas a Clear variant of the Wood 46 strain of S. aureus produced a lysin which migrated similarly to the alpha...
Studies on factor V in animals. Studies have been made on the effect of storage and temperature on factor V in animals and a method for its assay is described. There was a decrease of the factor with age in oxalated plasma of cattle, horses, sheep, dogs, rabbits and one elephant. This deterioration was very rapid in plasma kept at 37C. as compared with that stored at 4C. Rabbit plasma had the highest concentration of factor V followed by dogs, horses, cattle and sheep. Mixing various dilutions of aged plasma kept at 4C. wlth fresh plasma would enable the percentage prothrombin activity to be determined for the assay of facto...
Haemangioendothelioma in domestic animals. The study comprises 49 dogs, 2 horses, and 2 cows with haemangioendothelioma, which have been subjected to autopsy over a period of 26 years. Most of the dogs were old, and there is an over-representation of male dogs. The results also indicate that the Alsation breed of dog is particularly susceptible to these tumours, as is the Boxer to some extent. The disease was in most cases of short duration and the most common clinical symptoms were sluggishness, fever, generalized anaemia, breathing difficulties, increased thirst, and leuco-cytosis. Most of the dogs fell ill and were subjected to auto...
