Unwelcome neighbours: Tracking the transmission of Streptococcus equi in the United Kingdom horse population

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Strangles (Streptococcus equi infection) remains endemic in the UK, with ~300 laboratory diagnoses annually. Sub‐clinically infected long‐term carriers are considered a key driver of endemicity. Analysing genomes of circulating strains could provide valuable transmission insights of this pathogen.

Plasma C‐reactive protein and interleukin‐6 concentrations in foals during health and respiratory disease

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Early and specific diagnosis of bronchopneumonia in foals is important to prevent severe disease. In human medicine, C‐reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) are important diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in neonatal pneumonia in other species.

Steamed hay for the prevention of severe equine asthma exacerbations

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Steaming hay reduces respirable particles and is commonly used to feed horses with asthma. However, it showed inconsistent benefits in clinical studies. Objectives (1) To assess the effects of steamed hay on lung function and airway inflammation in horses with severe equine asthma (SEA) in remission; (2) To compare these effects ...

The potential value of cytokine, cortisol and vitamin D profiles in foals from birth to weaning for respiratory disease prediction on a farm endemic for Rhodococcus equi pneumonia

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rhodococcus equi causes pneumonia in young foals, but disease susceptibility and severity vary. Cortisol and vitamin D modulate immune responses and cytokine production during bacterial infection, and altered concentrations are associated with sepsis in neonatal foals. We hypothesised an age and disease effect on circulating steroid

Equine trypanosomiasis, a systematic review and meta‐analyses: Prevalence, morbidity and mortality

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine trypanosomiasis is a neglected protozoal disease. Objectives To perform a systematic search of literature to explore: (1) In equines what is the global geographical distribution and prevalence of trypanosomiasis? In low and middle‐income countries (LMICs) is trypanosomiasis more prevalent than in higher‐income countries (HICs)
