Lawsonia intracellularis infection and proliferative enteropathy in foals [PDF]
Veterinary Microbiology, 2013 Equine proliferative enteropathy (EPE) is a disease of foals caused by the obligate intracellular organism Lawsonia intracellularis. This organism is unique in that it causes proliferation of infected enterocytes, resulting in thickening of the intestinal epithelium, most often the small intestine.
