Equine venereal infections like EHV-3 and T. equigenitalis pose risks to horse breeding. Stallions often show no symptoms but can transmit serious diseases to mares during mating.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Science
  • Equine Reproduction
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Several venereal pathogens affect equine reproductive health in the US.
  • Key pathogens include Equine herpesvirus-3 (EHV-3), Taylorella equigenitalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
  • Equine arteritis virus (EAV) can also be harbored by stallions and transmitted to mares.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common equine venereal infections in the United States.
  • To highlight the diagnostic, treatment, and control strategies for these diseases.
  • To emphasize the asymptomatic transmission by stallions for most infections.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of equine venereal pathogens.
  • Discussion of diagnostic techniques for identification.

  • Outline of treatment and control measures for affected horses.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified key venereal pathogens: EHV-3, T. equigenitalis, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, and EAV.
    • Stallions are often asymptomatic carriers, facilitating disease spread.
    • Effective management requires understanding transmission dynamics.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing equine venereal diseases.
    • Control strategies should focus on asymptomatic carriers and transmission routes.
    • Integrated approaches are necessary to protect equine reproductive health.
