Epizootic diseases refer to outbreaks of infectious diseases that affect a large number of animals within a specific population, region, or period. In horses, these outbreaks can be caused by various pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites. The study of epizootics in equine populations involves understanding the transmission dynamics, environmental factors, and host-pathogen interactions that contribute to the spread of disease. Researchers focus on identifying the causes and impacts of these outbreaks, as well as developing strategies for prevention, control, and management. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and control measures related to epizootic diseases in horses.
Zhanabayev A, Ibrayev B, Lider L, Ussenbayev A, Bissengaliyev R.The research relevance is predefined by the widespread distribution of parasitosis, including helminthiases, alongside constant depasture on the same areas of pastures, which annually causes massive re‑infection of horses. In this regard, the research aims to identify the age, seasonal, and territorial dynamics of infection of horses with helminthiases in the context of the districts of the northern region of Kazakhstan. The primary research method was an experimental analysis that allowing to consider the dynamics and causes of horse helminthiases, associated with the prepatent period, the ...
Girma A, Tamir D.In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), particularly in Ethiopia, Epizootic Lymphangitis (EL) is the most prevalent fungal disease of equids, which causes significant economic losses as well as a decrease in equid populations. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis were designed to pool the results of individual studies and estimate the prevalence of EL among equids in Ethiopia. A systematic search of research articles on the prevalence and risk factors of EL among equids in Ethiopia was conducted in registers, databases, and other sources. Cochrane's Q, inverse variance (I2), sensitivity an...
Girma T, Chala G, Mekibib B.Epizootic lymphangitis is an infectious and chronically debilitating disease of the equines. Histoplasma capsulatum var. farciminosum, a thermally dimorphic fungi, is the causative agent for the disease. In Ethiopia, the disease significantly affects carthorses, posing threats to animal welfare, and resulting in substantial economic losses. Limited availability of widely accessible antifungals in addition to the chronic nature of the disease is the major challenge against management of epizootic lymphangitis. This study aimed to assess the in vitro efficacy of specific local medicinal plant ex...
