Topic:Equine Health
Equine health encompasses the study and management of diseases, disorders, and overall well-being of horses. It involves understanding various physiological systems, preventive care, and treatment strategies to maintain optimal health in equine populations. Common areas of focus include nutrition, infectious diseases, orthopedic conditions, and reproductive health. Research in equine health aims to advance knowledge on diagnostic methods, therapeutic interventions, and management practices that improve horse welfare and performance. This page collects peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the diverse aspects of equine health, offering insights into current findings and advancements in the field.
Biological and morphological aspects of the growth of equine abortion virus. Darlington, R. W. (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tenn.), and C. James. Biological and morphological aspects of the growth of equine abortion virus. J. Bacteriol. 92:250-257. 1966.-The growth of equine abortion virus (EAV) was studied by bioassay and electron microscopy in L-cell monolayer and suspension cultures, and in HeLa and BHK 21/13 cell monolayers. Results of virus assay (plaque-forming units) indicated that production of cell-associated virus (CAV) began at 6 to 9 hr after infection in all of the cell strains used. Virus release occurred 1 to 2 hr later. By 15 to 20 h...
Progesterone biosynthesis by equine granulosa cells growing in tissue culture. OUR knowledge of the pathways of steroid biosynthesis in the ovary has been gained mainly by incubations of ovaries in vitro1,2. The tissues incubated have contained numerous cell types: granulosa cells, theca interna cells, stromal cells, interstitial cells, and sometimes luteal cells. Possibly such mixtures of two or more different cell types are able to secrete hormones that one cell type cannot secrete by itself3–9. Furthermore, during such incubations in vitro an exchange of precursors and products between different cell types may be facilitated because of breakdown of naturally occurri...
A study of parotid salivation in the horse. 1. Saliva flowed from the horse's parotid duct only during mastication.2. The surface-active local anaesthetic administered by mouth inhibited salivary secretion.3. Salivary secretion was stimulated by pilocarpine and inhibited by atropine.4. The volume and composition of saliva secreted in 24 hr from one parotid duct was determined.5. The concentration of sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride and bicarbonate depended upon the rate of flow. The highest concentrations of these electrolytes were observed during periods of high flow rates.6. Horse parotid saliva contained a high concentration of c...
Electron microscopic observations on the blood of the horse. I. Neutrophils in the peripheral blood of clinically healthy horses. Recently, in the field of the human hematology, electron microscopic methods
have been becoming more and more important as one of the most useful methods
for differentiating the blood cells in the states of health and various diseases, and
several research publications have been pres en ted.
On the other hand, in the field of veterinary hematology, some reports on
the blood cells of several domestic animals using electron microscopy have been
presented, but in these publications 1,3.5,7,9,13.17,19), only a few of the blood cells were
described and there is no systematic observation usin...
