3. Pathogenesis:
Infection occurs when susceptible horses come into contact with
feed, exudate, or air droplets containing the bacterium. that
infected penetrating of mucous membranes in the nose and
mouth then infect lymph nodes where they cause abscesses
which may be can eventually rupture. And caused suppurative
rhinitis and lymphadenitis (mandibular and retropharyngeal)
with occasional hematogenous dissemination to internal organs.
In horses, donkey and mules ( special in young horses
Strangles (equine distemper) is a highly contagious bacterial
disease, that infection upper respiratory tract and lymphoid
tissue caused by Streptococcus equi G+ (not normal nasal flora)
.

4. Post mortem findings
1- upper airway compression due to retropharyngeal or peritracheal
abscess formation With mucopurulent
2- The term "bastard strangles" is used in cases where hematogenous
dissemination of Streptococcus equi results in metastatic abscesses in
the mesenteric lymph nodes and in different organs as lungs, liver,
spleen, kidneys, brain, or in the joints. This form of strangles is often fata
.
3- Immune-mediated complications include purpura hemorrhagica,
myositis, glomerulonephritis, and myocarditis.
4- Purulent discharge become Solid masses from the guttural pouch
5- Common sequelae to strangles include bronchopneumonia due to
aspiration of nasopharyngeal exudate.
6- purpura hemorrhagica as a result of vasculitis caused by deposition of
Streptococcus equi antigen-antibody complexes in arterioles, venules,
and capillaries of the skin and mucosal membranes.
5. Diagnosis and clinical pathology
Samples for Confirmation of Diagnosis
• Bacteriology—swab of abscess wall, enlarged lymph node (CULT),
nasal, pharyngeal or guttural pouch swabs, oropharyngeal pus. or lymph
node abscess pus. To detected S. Equi
• PCR of nasal, pharyngeal or guttural pouch swabs. Serology to detect
exposed horses.
• Leukocytosis.

Definition
Ulcerative lymphangitis is a chronic disease that characterized by
progressive inflammation of the subcutaneous lymphatics,
pustules and ulcers formation. Regional lymph nodes not
affected but it may be slightly enlarged.
Etiology:
Corynebacterium
pseudotuberculosis.
Gram positive, not acid
fast bacilli.
44. Post mortem findings:
1- swelling in one or both hind limbs in the fetlock region
and extending to hock like pigeon breast .
2-The abscesses can reach adiameter of 10 to 20 cm, with a
surrounding area of edema, before they rupture 1 to 4
weeks later.
3- Affected lymphatic vessels are thickened, hard, cords -
like shape, and doughy smooth appearance.
4- Regional lymph nodes not affected but it may be slightly
enlarged.
5-Internal abscesses occur at a variety of sites but
predominantly in the liver and can occur in horses.
45. Ulcerative lymphangitis
Differential diagnosis:
In the differential diagnosis of ulcerative lymphangitis, glanders,
sporotrichosis, pythiosis, mycetoma, epizootic lymphangitis, and
mycobacterial infections should be considered.
Diagnosis:
The definitive diagnosis is based on the history, physical
examination, cytology of impression smears from the skin
abscess, and culture of the exudates. Biopsy of the skin lesions
shows superficial to deep perivascular dermatitis or diffuse
dermatitis.

Equine infectious anemia (EIA or Swamp Fever)
Ethology
caused by infectious anemia virus
(EIA) a virus of the Lentivirinae
subfamily (Retroviridae family)
which is closed to the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
55. NECROPSY FINDINGS
In the acute stages
may be subcutaneous edema, jaundice, and petechial or
ecchymotic subserosal hemorrhages.
enlargement of the liver, spleen, and local lymph nodes.
The bone marrow is reddened as a result of increased
amounts of hematopoietic tissue and may contain focal
infarcts.
In the chronic stages
emaciation and pallor of tissues are often the only gross
findings.
Heart muscle is pale, flabby and friable.
56. Histologic examination
Is helpful in the diagnosis, even in asymptomatic chronic
carriers. Characteristic lesions include hemosiderosis,
perivascular infiltrates of round cells in many organs, and an
extensive proliferation of the mononuclear phagocytic cells
throughout the body.
Glomerulitis, probably caused by the deposition of virus–
antibody complexes on the glomerular epithelium, may be
present.
Lesions in the brain are a lymphohistiocytic periventricular
leukoencephalitis. Lesions of interstitial pneumonia are
common in horses with EIA.39 Culture of this virus is time-
consuming, and the diagnosis is usually confirmed on the basis
of a positive serologic test and typical microscopic lesions.

63. Equine Influenza (EI) is a highly contagious
respiratory disease of horses, donkeys and mules
and other equidae it is rarely fatal. Outbreaks of
equine influenza are characterized by a sudden
onset and rapid spread of disease. The disease has
been recorded throughout history, and when horses
were the main draft animals.
Etiology: EI is caused by two
subtypes of influenza A viruses:
H7N7 and H3N8, of the family
Orthomyxoviridae. They are
related to but distinct from the
viruses that cause human and
avian influenza.

66. Samples for Postmortem
Confirmation of Diagnosis
• Nasal swabs in viral transport media, and sections
of lung and trachea should be submitted for virus
isolation or demonstration by fluorescent antibody
or PCR testing.
• Formalin-fixed nasopharynx, trachea, and lung
should be submitted for light microscopic
examination.
