Equine veterinary medicine

Contagious S. equi disease of horses

Strangles is a highly contagious infection of the upper respiratory tract of horses caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi subspecies equi, producing fever, nasal discharge, and the hallmark abscessation of the lymph nodes of the head, especially the submandibular and retropharyngeal nodes. Boyle and colleagues' 2018 revised consensus statement in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine sets out diagnosis, treatment, and control, including the airway obstruction from enlarged retropharyngeal nodes that gives the disease its name and the guttural-pouch carrier state that sustains outbreaks. The referent is this specific equine bacterial disease and its management on infected premises.[1]

Unit
The presence and spread of S. equi infection and lymph-node abscessation in a horse or herd
Recovery means
Most horses recover with nursing and abscess drainage; the key control criterion is clearing guttural-pouch carriers to stop ongoing transmission.
Measured by
Confirmed by culture or PCR of nasal swabs and guttural-pouch lavage, with serology for exposure.
