Equine rhinitis viruses, ERV, are small, non-enveloped RNA viruses belonging to the Picornaviridae family, shown to be capable of causing disease in both the upper and lower respiratory tracts of equids. In the 1960s, clinical presentation and some virological features mistakenly led to its inclusion in the Rhinovirus genus. By the 1990s, molecular studies confirmed […] The post Equine rhinitis viruses: Emerging importance in respiratory disease appeared first on Texas A&M Veterinary Me...| Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease significantly affecting both human and animal health. Recent studies highlight the gut microbiota’s role in RA’s development and management. Understanding these connections offers new insights for effective treatments. Gut Microbiota and RA Pathogenesis Research shows that imbalances in gut microbiota, known as dysbiosis, contribute to RA. Individuals […] The post The Role of Gut Microbiota in Rheumatoid Arthritis Management appe...| IVC Journal
Comprehensive equine gait analysis requires hours of horse instrumentation, specialized equipment, and expert interpretation. Traditional motion capture systems demand extensive setup time, ranging from 2-3 hours per animal. The process exhausts both horse and handler while consuming valuable clinic resources. These conventional methods create barriers to routine lameness screening. Many practitioners avoid comprehensive gait analysis […] The post AI Video Analysis Slashes Equine Lameness D...| IVC Journal
Strangles is one of the most commonly diagnosed contagious diseases in horses worldwide, and was first reported in 1251. The bacteria typically infect the upper airway and lymphoid tissues of the head and neck, causing enlarged lymph nodes, nasal drainage, and abscess formation. Strangles is highly contagious in horse populations and can cause outbreaks when an infected horse is introduced into a new group or herd.| Large Animal Hospital » College of Veterinary Medicine » Universi...
