Here you will find all the essential information about strangles in horses, a highly contagious infectious disease that primarily affects horses and donkeys.\u00a0
\u00a0
What is Druse?\u00a0
<\/strong>\u00a0
Strangles, medically known as \u201eCoryza contagiosa equorum,\u201c is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi, equi. This illness is extremely contagious to horses, but there is no risk of transmission to other animals or humans. Foals and weakened horses are particularly at risk. The term \u201estrangles\u201c is thought to derive from botany and refers to the pus-filled lymph nodes that appear in affected animals.\u00a0
\u00a0
Clinical course\u00a0<\/strong>
\u00a0
The bacterium mainly affects the upper airways. The most common symptoms of strangles include:\u00a0
\u00a0
\u2013 Rise in body temperature\u00a0
Loss of appetite\u00a0
Fatigue\u00a0
Cough\u00a0
\u2013 Purulent nasal discharge\u00a0
Shortness of breath\u00a0
Painful swelling of the lymph nodes\u00a0
\u00a0
The illness often begins with a high fever and can lead to lymph node abscesses in severe cases. A key characteristic is the rapid spread of the disease within a horse population.\u00a0
\u00a0
Transfer\u00a0<\/strong>
\u00a0
Strangles is highly contagious and can spread rapidly throughout the entire horse population. Transmission occurs via:\u00a0
\u00a0
\u2013 Sharing of saddles, halters, drinking troughs and feed troughs\u00a0
\u2013 Direct contact between horses through nasal discharge and coughing expulsions\u00a0
\u2013 people who come into contact with diseased animals\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 about pitchforks, wheelbarrows,  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If strangles are suspected, affected horses should be isolated immediately and the stable disinfected. Recovered horses can continue to transmit the bacteria for up to four weeks after symptoms have subsided.\u00a0
\u00a0
Diagnose\u00a0<\/strong>
\u00a0
The diagnosis of strangles can only be made by a veterinarian. The gold standard involves taking an endoscopic guttural pouch flush sample and having it analysed in a laboratory using a PCR test. This test usually takes 48 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An investigation using a nasal swab is conclusive in a positive case but is considered less reliable than bronchoalveolar lavage.\u00a0
\u00a0
Treatment\u00a0<\/strong>
\u00a0
The treatment of strangles absolutely requires consultation with a veterinarian, as inadequate treatment can, in the worst-case scenario, lead to the horse's death.\u00a0
\u00a0
Regulations regarding sand colic in horses
<\/strong>\u00a0
In North Rhine-Westphalia, strangles is neither a notifiable nor a reportable disease. The official veterinarian does not need to be informed, and there are no ordered stable closures or tournament cancellations. However, stable owners are obliged not to move animals from their premises until the waiting period (approximately three to four weeks after the last symptoms have subsided) has expired.\u00a0
\u00a0
Vaccinations\u00a0<\/strong>
\u00a0
The available rabies vaccine only offers short-term protection of approximately three months and is not free of side effects. Vaccination is not possible if the disease has already broken out in the stable. Protection only exists after primary immunisation, which consists of two vaccinations two weeks apart.\u00a0
\u00a0
Conclusion\u00a0<\/strong>
\u00a0
Strangles in horses is a serious illness that can quickly lead to severe health problems. If you suspect strangles or have questions about vaccination and treatment, we are available to help at any time. Protect your horse and get informed with us!\u00a0
