The research article discusses equine coital exanthema (ECE), a venereal disease found in horses worldwide, and efforts are made to isolate the virus causing it, with only a few successful cases in Denmark.
About ECE’
- The study is centered on the equine coital exanthema (ECE), which is known as a venereal disease affecting horses.
- ECE has a global occurrence and is not confined to specific areas or breeds.
The Causative Agent of ECE
- The research hints at a virus being the causative agent of this disease.
- This virus causes sores and lesions, mostly in the genital area of horses, hence the designation ‘coital exanthema’ (coital relating to sexual intercourse, and exanthema is a widespread rash usually accompanied by other symptoms of an illness).
Research in Denmark
- In Denmark, the study recorded a few cases where they were successful in isolating the virus. This implies the presence of the disease in the horse population of Denmark.
