Background:

Rabies cases in wildlife are increasing in the US and Canada.
Horses are at risk of exposure to rabies from wildlife and other domestic animals.
Current antemortem diagnostic tests for rabies in horses are not rapid or definitive.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the ongoing threat of rabies to horses.
To discuss the diagnostic challenges of equine rabies.
To provide recommendations for rabies prevention and control in horses.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on equine rabies.
Discussion of diagnostic methods, including clinical signs, CSF analysis, and FAT.
Evaluation of rabies vaccination efficacy and safety in horses.

Main Results:

Rabies diagnosis in horses is challenging due to nonspecific clinical signs and limitations of antemortem tests.
The Fluorescent Antibody Test (FAT) on neural tissue is the most accurate diagnostic method, performed post-mortem.
Inactivated rabies vaccines are considered safe and effective for horses in endemic areas.

Conclusions:

Rabies continues to pose a serious risk to horses, necessitating increased awareness and preventive measures.
Definitive rabies diagnosis in horses can only be confirmed at necropsy.
Vaccination is advised for horses in rabies-endemic regions, and animal health professionals should also be vaccinated.
