Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Virology
  • Equine Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Equine influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease impacting horses globally.
  • Two distinct subtypes, A/equine-1 and A/equine-2, exist with no cross-immunity.
  • A/equine-2 has American and European lineages; strains since 1980 are A/equine-2.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology and control of equine influenza.
  • To highlight the importance of subtype identification and vaccine efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of equine influenza research.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data and diagnostic advancements.

Main Results:

  • Equine influenza is a significant respiratory disease, spread internationally by horse movement.

  • Secondary bacterial infections complicate influenza, particularly in unvaccinated horses.
  • Current vaccines offer incomplete, short-term protection and require updates.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis of equine influenza is now feasible with rapid procedures.
    • Vaccine efficacy depends on including strains relevant to current virus circulation.
    • Ongoing surveillance and vaccine updates are crucial for managing equine influenza.
