equine ehrlichial colitis (potomac horse fever): recognition of the disease in pennsylvania, new jersey, new york, ohio, idaho, and connecticut.equine ehrlichial colitis (potomac horse fever), a newly identified colitis of the horse, was first recognized in maryland. in this report, we document occurrence of the disease in pennsylvania, new jersey, new york, ohio, idaho, and connecticut. enzootic areas were recognized by a characteristic pattern. frequently there was a seasonal pattern and high prevalence of sporadic colitis in unstressed horses. the attack rate per farm generally was low. horses on pasture, as well as those stabled, we ...19863744978
cruciate and collateral ligament failure in the equine stifle: seven cases (1975-1985).medical records of 7 adult horses with single or multiple ligament failure of the femorotibial ligaments were reviewed to evaluate signalment, history, diagnostic and treatment methods, outcome, and long-term follow-up information. acute onset of lameness was recorded for most of the horses. horses with multiple ligament injury had more severe clinical signs than did horses with single ligament injury. horses with single ligament injury generally required manipulative tests to localize the lamen ...19883170336

serosurvey of horses with evidence of equine monocytic ehrlichiosis.in august 1986, an extensive serosurvey for prevalence of igg and igm antibodies against ehrlichia risticii, the causative agent of equine monocytic ehrlichiosis (eme), was performed at 2 ohio racetracks, river downs (rd) and beulah park (bp). of 840 horses at rd and 574 at bp, 13 and 20%, respectively, were igg antibody-positive (by indirect fluorescent antibody test results), with antibody titer ranging from 1:20 to 1:10,240. the titer observed at highest frequency at both racetracks was 1:80. ...19902266048
an outbreak of equine neonatal salmonellosis.an outbreak of salmonellosis in foals occurred on a large thoroughbred farm in california. only foals less than 8 days of age exhibited clinical signs, which included depression, anorexia, and diarrhea. three foals died from septicemia. the agent responsible was salmonella ohio, which is rarely involved in salmonellosis in horses. during the course of the outbreak, s. ohio was isolated from 27 of 97 mares (27.8%) and 34 of 97 foals (35.1%). mares were the presumed source of infection for foals. ...19911911993

low prevalence of escherichia coli o157:h7 in horses in ohio, usa.manure from draft animals deposited in fields during vegetable and fruit production may serve as a potential source of preharvest pathogen contamination of foods. to better quantify this risk, we determined the prevalence of escherichia coli o157:h7 in horses. between june and september 2009, freshly voided fecal samples were collected from horses stabled on 242 separate premises in ohio, usa. overall, the prevalence of e. coli o157:h7 was 1 of 242 (0.4% prevalence, 95% confidence interval [ci] ...201021219723
test of recrudescence hypothesis for overwintering of eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus in gray catbirds.eastern equine encephalitis virus (eeev; family togaviridae, genus alphavirus) epizootics are infrequent, but they can lead to high mortality in infected horses and humans. despite the importance of eeev to human and animal health, little is known about how the virus overwinters and reinitiates transmission each spring, particularly in temperate regions where infected adult mosquitoes are unlikely to survive through the winter. one hypothesis to explain the mechanism by which this virus persists ...201121845951
