Summary

Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) was first detected in the Netherlands in 1987 in five mares across three outbreaks. Diagnosis was challenging due to organism auto-agglutination and streptomycin resistance in Taylorella equigenitalis strains.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Microbiology
  • Equine Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • First detection of Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) in the Netherlands in 1987.
  • Involvement of five Dutch saddle-horses in three separate outbreaks.
  • Undetermined origin of infection in all reported cases.

Purpose:

  • To report the initial detection and characteristics of Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) in the Netherlands.
  • To highlight diagnostic challenges posed by Taylorella equigenitalis auto-agglutination.
  • To document the antimicrobial resistance profile of isolated strains.

Summary:

  • Five mares were diagnosed with CEM, caused by Taylorella equigenitalis.
  • Diagnostic difficulties arose from bacterial auto-agglutination, necessitating an indirect immunofluorescence test.

  • All five isolated strains exhibited resistance to streptomycin.
  • The study provides a summary of CEM prevalence since 1981.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the emergence of a significant equine reproductive disease in a new geographical region.
    • Underscores the importance of robust diagnostic methods for Taylorella equigenitalis.
    • Informs disease surveillance and control strategies for CEM in horse populations.
    • Discusses the broader implications of CEM for the equine breeding industry.
