Topic:Lymphatic

The equine lymphatic system is an integral component of a horse's circulatory and immune systems, responsible for the transport of lymph fluid, which contains white blood cells and other immune-related substances. It facilitates the removal of waste products, excess fluids, and pathogens from tissues, maintaining fluid balance and contributing to immune defense mechanisms. The lymphatic system in horses includes lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and lymphoid tissues, each playing distinct roles in immune surveillance and response. Research in this area explores the anatomy, function, and disorders of the lymphatic system in horses, as well as its involvement in conditions such as lymphedema and lymphangitis. This page collates peer-reviewed studies and scholarly articles focusing on the structure, function, and clinical implications of the lymphatic system in equine health.

Cheville NF, Prasse K, van der Maaten M, Boothe AD.A newborn foal developed generalized cutaneous mastocytosis characterized by multiple elevated nodules of mast cells in skin and basophil hyperplasia in bone marrow. Skin lesions began as small aggregates of mast cells that progressively enlarged, ulcerated, and regressed spontaneously. Eosinophil infiltration, collagen necrosis, and fibroplasia were characteristic of advanced lesions. Many new lesions developed during the first month of life but numbers progressively diminished. Large numbers of mast cells were present in biopsies of lymph node, spleen and bone marrow. Discrete aggregates of ...

Tessler J.The fluorescent antibody reaction was studied in tissues of ponies infected with African horsesickness virus (AHSV). Lung, spleen, lymph node, liver, skeletal muscle, intestine, stomach, nerve ganglion and kidney were sectioned and stained by the direct fluorescent antibody technique (FA). Fluorescence was demonstrated only in the spleen and could be inhibited by using unconjugated antiserum.
