Definition and Etiology
Myocarditis is inflammation of the myocardium caused by bacterial, viral, or parasitic organisms or thromboembolic disease
caused by these organisms. In large animals, recognized bacterial causes include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus equi, Clostridium chauvoei, and Mycobacterium spp. Myocarditis can also occur after bacteremia, septicemia, pericarditis, or endocarditis, regardless of the causative agent. Known viral causes of myocarditis include foot-and-mouth disease, equine infectious anemia, equine viral arteritis, equine influenza, and African horse sickness. Parasitic causes of myocarditis may include strongylosis162 * * or onchocerciasis in horses and toxoplasmosis, cysticercosis, or sarcocystic infection in ruminants.163,164 Currently it is thought that infection with the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi may be a cause of myocarditis in
165
domestic animals, as it is in human beings.165 Cardiomyopathy is a subacute or chronic disease of the ventricular myocardium that occurs without anatomic valvular disease, congenital malformations of the heart or vessels, or pulmonary disease. In large animals, dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common cardiomyopathy. However, hypertensive cardiomyopathy occurs in horses associated with chronic renal disease, pain associated with chronic laminitis, and to some extent in ponies with equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) where left ventricular hypertrophy has been detected.166 Dilated cardiomyopathy is associated with ventricular dilation, increased ventricular mass, and decreased systolic function. Although the cause is frequently undetermined,126,167,168 several conditions have been related to or identified with cardiomyopathy. An inherited cardiomyopathy thought to be linked to the red Holstein gene has been found in Holstein-Friesian cattle in Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.169-171 There is also a cardiomyopathy associated with a curly hair coat in polled Herefords and in Japanesse black calves.172-173 Cardiomyopathy has been associated with ingestion of monensin, lasalocid, salinomycin, gossypol, Cassia occidentalis, and Phalaris spp. Vitamin E and selenium deficiency, copper deficiency, excessive molybdenum, or high sulfates (secondary copper deficiency)

may cause cardiomyopathy.1'4-184 Consumption of plants in the Acer family and several other plants cause myocardial injury, myocarditis and cardiomyopathy.185,186 Myocardial infiltration by neoplasia, such as lymphosarcoma or fibrosarcoma, also may cause cardiomyopathy. A fibrofatty infiltration of the right ventricle and interventricular septum similar to arrhythmogenic
187189
right ventricular dysplasia occurs in horses.18'-189 Envenomation associated with rattlesnake bite can result in myocardial necrosis and secondary cardiomyopathy.190-192 The most common cause of cardiomyopathy in horses is probably myocarditis, although the inciting insult is usually difficult to identify.
Clinical Signs and Differential Diagnosis
The manifestations of myocarditis are highly variable depending on the extent of the disease, location of the inflammation
or external), sepsis, parasite migration, degenerative vascular
disease, atherosclerosis, or aging changes (dilation, elongation,
and loss of elasticity of blood vessels) may play a role.241-243 Histopathologic study of the Friesian with aortopulmonary
fistulation and thoracic aortic rupture suggest an underlying
connective tissue disorder of the aortic media collagen or elastin
contamination can cause thrombosis associated with catheterization. Secondary thrombosis can result from perivascular inflammation caused by cellulitis, lymphangitis, or other sources of bacterial invasion around the blood vessel. Mural thrombi, which occur in cardiac chambers associated with low-flow states and/or a coagulopathy, also may occur in large animals, although they have been rarely diagnosed antemortem in the heart.245 Thrombosis usually occurs when intimal disease is present, but it may occur in arteries with no intimal disease when a hypercoagulable state exists, such as with dehydration, endo-
Epistaxis and hemorrhage into airways can occur as a result of a number of diseases, including disorders of the upper airways and lungs (Table 31.12). Hemorrhage into the trachea or bronchi can be a result of EIPH, pulmonary abscess, fungal granuloma, trauma, pneumonia, pulmonary foreign body, or hemangiosarcoma or other pulmonary neoplasia. Epistaxis can be associated with all of these causes of hemorrhage into the lower airway and with diseases of the upper airway, including guttural pouch mycosis, ethmoidal hematoma, trauma, and neoplasia of the upper airways and associated structures. Thrombocytopenia can cause epistaxis.
There is evidence of a heritable component to exercise- associated epistaxis in Thoroughbred racehorses (h2 = 0.27 for lifetime risk of epistaxis and 0.5 for risk of a repeated episode during an individual race,13 and h2 = 0.23 for an individual and 0.40 for a sire).14 While there is evidence of heritability of epistaxis, there are no reports of the specific genetic factors contributing to EIPH (of which epistaxis is one manifestation; see below), such as could be identified by genome-wide association studies or other techniques.15
■ Clinical Signs and Differential Diagnosis Poor athletic performance and epistaxis are the most common

infection in horses.1
■ Clinical Signs and Differential Diagnosis Clinical signs include intermittent nasal discharge that may worsen when the head is lowered, retropharyngeal swelling, cough, fever, parotid swelling and pain, dysphagia, difficult breathing, and pneumonia.22 Nasal discharge can be unilateral or bilateral, even if only one pouch is affected, because the pharyngeal openings of the guttural pouches are located caudal to the nasal septum. Nasal discharge is generally nonodorous, white, and opaque. Altered breathing may result from gradual collapse of the pharynx as the guttural pouch distends. Signs of dysphagia
may occur from pharyngeal compression or paresis. Inspissation of the purulent material results in chondroids (hard concretions of inspissated pus). Differential diagnosis of guttural pouch empyema should include diseases with chronic mucopurulent nasal discharge such as pneumonia, sinusitis, upper respiratory tract infections, and guttural pouch tympany.
■ Clinical Pathology Leukocytosis is often present. Plasma fibrinogen concentration is often increased22; changes occur in parallel with development of leukocytosis, pyrexia, and clinical signs of strangles or primary guttural pouch empyema. Analysis of fluid from the guttural pouch often yields a β-hemolytic Streptococcus spp.,17 * although other bacteria have been isolated.22-24
■ Diagnostic Aids Guttural pouch empyema should be considered when there is a chronic, nonresponsive nasal discharge. Diagnostic aids include endoscopy, radiography, percutaneous centesis, and aspiration of material from the pouch through the pharyngeal opening. Recognition of fluid

■ Definition, Etiology, and Epidemiology Acute to chronic infection of the laryngeal mucosa and cartilage of young cattle is very common, particularly in feedlots. Laryngeal
Abscessation of the arytenoid cartilages caused by A. pyogenes has been reported in calves and sheep. Clinical signs include tachypnea, extension of the head and neck, cyanosis, and a severe progressive dyspnea with marked stertor that can be localized to the larynx. Many affected animals remain alert and afebrile and continue to eat until the terminal stages of severe dyspnea. Endoscopy reveals generalized edema and hyperemia of the laryngeal mucosa and obstruction of the rima glottidis by swelling of one or both arytenoids. Radiographs may demonstrate soft-tissue swelling of the larynx. The condition has been speculated to be initiated by grass awns, trauma, hereditary predisposition, or congenital cavitations in the cartilages. In sheep, rams appear to be more commonly affected than ewes, and two reports found a breed predisposition in Texels and Southdowns, although other reports have indicated that various breeds are affected.31 The necropsy lesions consist of encapsulated abscesses containing pus and necrotic debris in the arytenoid cartilage, usually in the vicinity of the vocal cord. A tract from the abscess typically opens in an area of granulation tissue in the laryngeal mucosa. Treatment consists of tracheostomy, antibiotics (usually penicillin at 22,000 to 44,000 U/kg IM q12-24h), and antiinflammatory drugs (flunixin meglumine, 1.1 to 2.2 mg/kg IV daily or divided twice daily).
BVDV is an enveloped RNA virus of the genus Pestivirus in the family Flaviviridae. A wide spectrum of disease has been
associated with BVDV infection, including subclinical infection, bovine viral diarrhea and mucosal disease (see Chapter 32), immunosuppression, repeat breeding problems, abortion, fetal mummification (see Chapter 43), congenital defects, immunotolerance, and persistent infections. Only the contribution
of this virus to respiratory disease is discussed here.
Historically the role of BVDV in the bovine respiratory
disease complex was controversial, but research provides good
evidence that the virus contributes to bovine respiratory disease
antigenically similar to North American isolates,95 * whereas Japanese isolates have been more distinct.98
Horses, sheep, and goats have also been shown to be

seropositive to IDV at low prevalence , ; poultry have not yet been reported to be seropositive. An early report found
only 1.3% of 316 human serum samples from the United
States and Canada to be seropositive to IDV,93 suggesting that infection of humans is uncommon. However, a recent small

■ Definition and Classification Smith and colleagues1 classified abomasal ulcers into four types: (1) nonperforating,
(2) nonperforating with severe blood loss, (3) perforating with local peritonitis, and (4) perforating with diffuse peritonitis (Table 32.20). Braun and associates subdivided type 1 abomasal ulcers (nonperforating ulcers) into four subtype on the basis of their structure.2 In some case, abomasal ulcers rupture into the bursa omentalis and lead to omental bursitis. This type of ulcer has been classified as type 5 abomasal ulcers.3 These classifications are useful for describing the various clinical scenarios that may be observed in examination of an animal with abomasal ulceration.
■ Epidemiology Abomasal ulceration occurs in cattle of all ages. Veal calves appear the most frequently affected. At slaughter, healthy veal calves are found to have clinically inapparent abomasal erosions and ulcers, with reported prevalence ranging from 67% to 87%.4,5 In beef calves that died between the fourth day after birth and weaning, abomasal ulcers were observed in 3.9% on gross postmortem examination reported by a private veterinarians and in 18.9% on histologic examination or confirmation results by a veterinary pathologist.6 In clinically affected calves, perforation with peritonitis (rather than hemorrhage) usually develops. In clinically normal cows, 20.5% had type 1 ulcers in a slaughter study.2 In adult cattle with abomasal ulcers causing illness, approximately one third of clinical cases in a referral population had significant

The cornerstone of treatment of TN is restoration of adequate renal perfusion and urine production. This is most
support, and diuresis if renal involvement is observed. In vitro
susceptibility has been demonstrated for several antibiotics
that could be used in food-producing ruminants, including
ampicillin, amoxicillin, penicillin G, erythromycin, tetracycline,
tylosin, and tilmicosin.29,47-49 Daily oxytetracycline (100 mg/mL,
10 mg/kg IV or IM once daily for 5 to 7 days) or long-acting oxytetracycline (20 mg/kg IM or SC every other day for two to four treatments) are considered clinically effective, but controlled clinical studies reporting efficacy in acute leptospirosis have not been reported. Penicillin G procaine (25,000 IU/kg IM twice daily) and sodium ampicillin (20 mg/kg IM twice daily) have been suggested for treatment, but the efficacy of these regimens in cattle remains unproven.11 In humans, doxycycline (100 mg q12h for 7 days) has been shown to reduce the duration and severity of illness.5 * * * * 10 Consideration of other antibiotics for treating acute leptospirosis should be based on their efficacy in clearing renal infections with host-adapted L. borgpetersenii serovar hardjo (see later).
IV or oral fluids may be indicated for systemic support. In animals with severe hemolysis, blood transfusion may be considered. Diuresis should be established in animals with hemoglobinuria or evidence of ARF from hemoglobinuric nephrosis or interstitial nephritis. The prognosis for renal disease caused by leptospirosis is influenced by the virulence of the serovar involved, host immunity, and extent of renal lesions. Cases with renal azotemia warrant a guarded prognosis because more than 75% of nephrons are affected in such cases, and chronic interstitial nephritis and fibrosis may occur after treatment of the acute disease.
Several antibiotics have been shown effective in clearing Leptospira spp. renal colonization and shedding in cattle. Long-acting oxytetracycline (20 mg/kg IM or SC, two doses 10 days apart) has been recommended to treat chronic leptospiral infections or reduce the risk of introduction of infected animals into a herd.3 Oxytetracycline (20 mg/kg IM once), ceftiofur sodium (2.2 mg/kg IM q24h for five treatments), ceftiofur crystalline free acid (6.6 mg/kg SC at the base of the ear once), tilmicosin (10 mg/kg SC once), and tulathromycin (2.5 mg/kg SC once) have been shown effective in clearing renal shedding of L. borgpetersenii serovar hardjo type hardjobovis from

■ Definition, Etiology, and Epidemiology Trypanosomiasis is a hemoprotozoan disease of African cattle that also infects the CNS. The disease is transmitted to cattle by the bite of the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.). The agents that infect cattle include Trypanosoma vivax, Trypanosoma congolense, and Trypanosoma brucei. An especially severe neurologic form of the disease has been caused by the inoculation of cattle with T. congolense, followed 1 year later by infection with T. brucei, or by simultaneous inoculation with the two agents.1
■ Clinical Signs Encephalitic signs of the disease develop 2.5 to 5 months after infection and include ataxia, conscious proprioceptive deficits, knuckling (partial collapse of a joint into a flexed position), depression, circling, and head pressing. Some animals may show signs of behavioral change, lose the herd instinct, and develop hyperesthesia and constant repetitive movements. Other signs associated with progression of trypanosomiasis are semicoma, coma, recumbency, opisthotonos, and intermittent tonic-clonic convulsions, which occur 2 to
3 days before death. Affected animals are emaciated, anemic,
and icteric at death.2 3 *

■ Definition and Etiology Listeriosis is an acute menin
goencephalitis caused by the Gram-positive bacterium L. monocytogenes. The disease has a worldwide distribution, but
occurs most often in temperate climates. Listeriosis typically
affects ruminants, fowl, and humans but is rare in horses. The prevalence of listerial meningoencephalitis in infected herds
does not usually exceed 1% of the adult animals at risk.1
Clinical manifestations of listeriosis include septicemia of neonates, abortion, neonatal death, ophthalmitis, uveitis, septicemia and diarrhea in ewes, and neurologic disease.2 Neurologic listeriosis may manifest as a multifocal brainstem

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is the most common infectious neurologic disease of horses in the United States. The Apicomplexa protozoan Sarcocystis neurona is the usual
cause, with sporadic cases caused by Neospora bugbesi.1 *'1 Species of Sarcocystis have an obligatory two-host life cycle.3 * S. * * S. neurona reproduces sexually in the small intestine of the definitive host, the opossum (Didelpbis virginiana in North America and Didelpbis albiventris in South America), and results in the passage of oocysts/sporocysts with feces. Asexual proliferation occurs in the intermediate host and culminates in the formation of sarcocysts in muscle. The nine-banded armadillo, striped skunk, raccoon, and domestic cat are natural intermediate hosts that cover the geographic range in which EPM occurs.4-7 The primary and secondary hosts for N. bugbesi are not known. The horse usually functions as an aberrant dead-end intermediate host for S. neurona: With the exception of a single foal with S. neurona muscle sarcocysts,8 only precystic stages (i.e., merozoites and schizonts) have been found in the CNS of horses with EPM.
■ Pothogenesis The pathophysiologic and immunologic mechanisms of S. neurona infection in horses are not completely understood. Horses ingest the infective sporocyst stage of
S. neurona in food and water that have been contaminated by opossum feces. Congenital S. neurona infection is rare, but it is well established that N. bugbesi may be transmitted transplacentally.9 The mechanism of entry into the CNS of the horse is probably related to leukocyte-associated parasitemia.
Once in the CNS, S. neurona can localize and replicate in any region, from cerebrum to spinal cord. True peripheral nerves
and nerve roots are not infected; however, cranial nerves I and II (olfactory and optic), which are part of the CNS, can be affected. The location and extent of lesions determine the type and severity of clinical signs. Histologically, protozoa are usually associated with mixed inflammatory cellular responses and neuronal destruction. Schizonts (multicellular proliferative bodies) or free merozoites are common observed in the cytoplasm of neurons or mononuclear phagocytes and in capillary endothelial cells but rarely in other inflammatory or CNS cells.3
Both cellular and humoral immunity appear to be important for control of infection by S. neurona. Because of the intracellular location of the parasite, competent cell-mediated adaptive immune responses are considered essential for its elimination.
■ Epidemiology EPM is a disease of horses that have spent time in North or South America. There are isolated reports of horses elsewhere in which EPM was diagnosed but that have no history of travel to the Americas, and the nature of infection in these cases remains unclear.10,11 Horses of all breeds can be affected by EPM, and there is no sex bias. There are

■ Transmission Pedigree analyses and breeding studies have established that the gene responsible for this disease has a simple autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.13-16 The breeding of carrier animals will produce 25% of offspring with the genetic disorder.15,16 The breeding of a spider ram in a population of carrier females produces 50% of offspring with spider lamb syndrome.6,14 The breeding of a carrier ram with his daughters also produced offspring with this disorder.

■ Definition and Etiology Ingestion of excessive fluoride by cattle, sheep, and horses can result in toxicosis. Acute fluoride toxicosis is relatively rare and is the result of accidental massive ingestion of fluoride compounds such as sodium fluoride or sodium fluorosilicate. Signs of acute fluoride toxicosis include restlessness, stiffness, anorexia, agalactia, salivation, vomiting or regurgitation, urinary incontinence, diarrhea, clonic convulsions, hyperemia, weakness, severe depression, and cardiac failure. Necrosis of the gastrointestinal mucosa and high concentrations of fluoride in plasma and urine are present in acute fluoride toxicities. Chronic fluoride toxicosis is most often referred to as fluorosis, a general term that includes osteofluorosis and dental fluorosis. Common sources of excess fluorides in the diet are
(1) water with a naturally high fluoride content, (2) forages
contaminated with fluorides from nearby (upwind) industrial plants (e.g., phosphate processing plants, aluminum plants,
aluminum smelters), (3) mineral sources (nondefluorinated rock phosphorus) and feed supplements with excessive fluoride
content, (4) forages contaminated by soil or water (particularly sprinkler irrigation water) with a high fluoride content, and

sia,, pleuritιs,2 pulmonary infarction,17 rib fracture,18 pleural adhesion,2,6 pericarditis,2,4 mediastinal lymphadenitis,6 and equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis.19 Reported primary extrathoracic disorders associated with HO include ovarian neoplasia,5,20-22 abdominal tuberculosis,2 peritonitis,2 pituitary adenoma,9 pyogranulomatous dermatitis,3 and gastric squamous cell carcinoma.8 There is one report of HO in a mare that was thought to be associated with pregnancy; signs of HO developed during three different pregnancies and regressed each time after parturition.11 In some cases, an underlying disorder is never identified.2,6
■ Pathophysiology The pathophysiology of HO is not completely understood.1,6-7 Initially, blood flow to the distal limbs is increased, followed by fluid retention and proliferation of connective tissue. Later there is bony proliferation along the inner aspect of the periosteum.1,6,7 The periosteal proliferation results in the bony enlargements seen clinically. The link between the primary lesion and the skeletal abnormalities is poorly understood. Proposed explanations include hormonal abnormalities, hypoxia, arteriovenous shunting, and neurologic mechanisms.1,6,7 The neurologic theory is based on increased vagal stimulation, and the endocrine mechanism involves a variety of local and systemic hormones increasing the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet- derived growth factor (PDGF), causing release of megakaryocytes from the pulmonary circulation, resulting in platelet clumping in the periosteal capillaries.7,19 No single theory offers a completely satisfactory explanation.

Orbital injuries in domestic animals frequently include fractures of the orbital rim and zygomatic arch and damage to the supraorbital process of the frontal bone.2 Fractures of the orbit may be identified by palpation, radiography, CT, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Contusions or lacerations of orbital soft tissues and temporary or permanent neurologic dysfunction also may be present.
Radiographic examination of the bony orbit in large animals is technically difficult and often unrewarding with conventional radiography. Standard lateral and dorsoventral views require powerful radiographic equipment for penetration of bony structures in horses and cattle.1 Large fractures may be identified, but distinct delineation of the bony orbit is difficult because of overlying sinus and nasal structures. An oblique view of the frontal bone is often the most helpful projection.3 This view may be taken with a portable machine because only minimal radiographic penetration of skull structures is required. Outlining the orbit and surrounding bony structures allows identification of fractures, osteomyelitis with or without bony sequestra, and soft tissue abnormalities, including swelling and radiopaque foreign bodies. If a periorbital sinus is involved in the fracture, subcutaneous emphysema may be present. The use of digital radiography may allow enhanced visualization of the bony structures of the orbit, especially when only subtle changes are present. Digital radiography systems used in conjunction with portable equipment may provide adequate detail in standard
Conjunctival lacerations result in swelling (chemosis) and hemorrhage. The cornea and sclera should be examined carefully for evidence of lacerations or perforation. A concurrent scleral laceration is probable if the globe is excessively soft on digital
Trauma to the globe can damage the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. The resulting inflammatory response may range from very mild with rapid recovery to loss of vision and chronic discomfort. Signs of inflammation of the iris and ciliary body include blepharospasm, epiphora, miosis, aqueous flare, corneal edema, fibrin in the anterior chamber, hyphema, hypopyon, low IOP, and synechia formation. Concurrent damage to the corneal epithelium may be present and must be evaluated with fluorescein dye. Damage to the choroid may also affect the retina and lead to retinal detachment or degeneration.
Traumatic uveitis is treated in a manner similar to uveitis of other etiologies. Therapy is directed toward dilating the pupil to prevent synechia formation, cycloplegia to prevent painful ciliary spasm, and controlling the intraocular inflammatory response. Topical atropine is instilled to maintain mydriasis and provide cycloplegia. Topical corticosteroids are used to decrease inflammation of the anterior segment if the corneal epithelium is intact.
The topical corticosteroids of choice are 1% prednisolone acetate or 0.1% dexamethasone. Subconjunctival injection of corticosteroids may also be beneficial in controlling inflammation. Systemic medication should include an antiinflammatory, such as flunixin meglumine, ketoprofen, phenylbutazone, or
Retinal tears, hemorrhage, edema, and detachment may be caused by trauma.26 In cases of opaque ocular media, retinal separation may be diagnosed by ocular ultrasonography (Fig. 39.8). Retinal degeneration may follow ocular trauma. Retinal hemorrhage and edema should be treated with systemic corticosteroids. With current technology, surgical repair of
Ocular irritation caused by insecticides and disinfectants inadvertently applied to the eye is relatively common in the farm or ranch setting. Chemical burns to the cornea and adnexa may have serious consequences and may warrant a poor prognosis for salvage of the eye. Alkali burns are more severe than acid burns. Corneal burns from acids tend to be sharply demarcated and nonprogressive, whereas alkali burns cause progressive coagulation, melting, and sloughing of the corneal stroma.3 Chemically induced melting of the cornea must be differentiated from bacterial and fungal infections. Treatment for a suspected or known chemical burn should include lavage
edema and blindness.42 * * Diagnosis is made by visualizing the parasite in the anterior chamber and detecting microfilaria in the blood. Treatment involves symptomatic antiinflammatory
and ivermectin therapy,43,44 but surgical removal of larvae from the anterior chamber has also been reported.45
Other filarides found free within the anterior chamber of horses' eyes include Dirofilaria immitis and O. cervicalis. Diagnosis and treatment are the same as for Setaria. Severe
endophthalmitis resulting from intraocular infection with the free-living nematode Halicephalobus has been reported in a horse.46 The ocular disease was accompanied by a fatal
encephalopathy. Diagnosis was based on finding the parasite during microscopic examination of intraocular tissues.
The canine cestodes Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis may form intraocular hydatid cysts in humans, but in horses and ruminants subclinical orbital involvement is more common.47 There is no medical treatment, and surgical removal is often impossible. Diagnosis is made on histopathologic examination of affected tissues.
■ Definition and Etiology Cutaneous papillomas or warts
occur (in decreasing order of frequency) in cattle, horses, goats,
and sheep.1-4 The growths usually occur in young animals,4 * * * as well as on teats of mature cattle and goats, and are white, tan,
or gray firm, protruding masses with a dry, horny surface. They vary in size from 1 to 500 mm and may be single or multiple. Species-specific papillomaviruses (subgroup of papovavirus) are responsible for causing warts.5-7 It is now
accepted that parts of the bovine papillomavirus (BPV) genome
are found in naturally occurring equine sarcoids.8 There are
at least 10 BPV strains, designated BPV-1 through BPV-10 (Table 40.1),9 and probably more. At least two strains of virus are currently recognized in horses.
■ Clinical Signs Warts are usually small, benign growths that appear on animals younger than 2 years, persist for 3 to
12 months, and then spontaneously regress without causing clinical signs (other than a blemish). In cattle, warts on the teats, penis, or interdigital skin10 or in the alimentary tract may produce clinical signs of pain or occlusion. Warts usually develop in the ears of young cattle after tagging or tattooing, especially if instruments are not disinfected between individuals; these are not age related. Teat warts also predispose to environmental mastitis. Occasionally individuals with (presumed) defective cellular immunity may develop multiple extremely large warts that may result in weight loss.
In horses, warts on the face are rather common but rarely cause a significant problem (Fig. 40.8). The previously reported congenital wart in young horses has now been more properly termed a hamartomatous lesion (epidermal nevus) and has been shown not to be virus induced.11
Warts are relatively rare in goats. They occur mainly on teats and may spread throughout the herd. A 1936 report described a herd outbreak involving the head, neck, shoulders, and forelegs in milking goats.12 Does without adequate pigmentation on the udder develop persistent mammary gland warts that may undergo transformation to become squamous cell carcinomas.13 There are probably at least two different strains of goat papillomavirus (head/neck and mammary).
Warts are rare in sheep but may occur on the face or legs. Differential diagnosis in sheep and goats includes contagious ecthyma (orf), ulcerative dermatosis, dermatophilosis, and sheeppox and goatpox.

of a heterologous host by papillomavirus.7 While BPV1 has been shown to be more prevalent in sarcoids from horses in Europe, the eastern United States, and Australia,8-10 BPV2 has been more commonly reported in lesions from horses in the western United States and Canada.11,12 Recently, sarcoids
collected in Brazil were found to be associated with BPV13, which is genetically more than 90% homologous to BPV1 and BPV2.13
sequences that are actively transcribed.15,17
However, the role of BPV in the etiology of sarcoids continues to be questioned. Although equine fibroblasts can be transformed in vitro following BPV1 infection,22,23 experimental
The most common causes of enlarged ovaries in the mare are
(1) tumors, (2) anovulatory follicles, (3) ovarian hematomas, and (4) pregnancy.
Ovarian Tumors
Most equine ovarian tumors can be categorized as sex cord- stromal tumors (granulosa-theca cell tumors), epithelial tumors (cystadenomas), or germ cell tumors (dysgerminomas and teratomas), and mares can present with more than one tumor type.* 1
GRANULOSA-THECA CELL TUMORS. The granulosa-theca cell tumor (GCT) is the most common ovarian tumor in the
α-progstaglandin product dinoprost tromethamine or similar
prostaglandin analog. The mare must be at least 5 days post
ovulation to respond reliably to treatment, although administra
tion of the drug 3 days post ovulation can be effective.32 If the
mare is treated with PGF2α in the presence of a mature diestrous
follicle (≥35 mm), she may ovulate the follicle without signs
of estrus in response to declining progesterone concentrations
that allow LH to be secreted from the anterior pituitary. An
Granulosa Cell Tumor
COW. Although rare, various ovarian neoplasms have been described in cows; granulosa cell tumors appear to be most common.1
■ Clinical Signs and Diagnosis Granulosa cell tumors are characterized by unilateral ovarian enlargement, with the affected ovary being greater than 10 cm in diameter. The surface may be smooth or coarsely lobulated. Function of the contralateral ovary may be suppressed. The behavior of affected cows ranges from anestrus to nymphomania to bull-like behavior. Udder development and lactation may occur in affected heifers. Hormonal profiles, including estrogen and testosterone, may be variable among cows with granulosa cell tumors. Although inhibin has not been validated for use in cows, AMH is secreted by neoplastic granulosa cells and can be a useful diagnostic measurement.1 Few bovine granulosa cell tumors are malignant, and they rarely metastasize. Among the other ovarian neoplasms that have been reported in cattle are dysgerminomas, interstitial cell tumors, and teratomas. Causes of ovarian enlargement that must be differentiated from ovarian neoplasia include ovarian cysts, oophoritis, ovarian abscesses, and parovarian cysts.
■ Treatment and Prognosis The treatment for ovarian neoplasia in cattle is surgical removal of the affected ovary; however, cows may not be as fertile as mares after removal of the tumor.
EWE. Granulosa cell tumors have been reported, but tumors of the genital organs of ewes appear to be rare. Animals with ovarian tumors may exhibit all types of behavioral and physiologic abnormalities (nymphomania, inappropriate lactation). Diagnosis

■ Definition and Etiology Orchitis is most commonly caused by infection or trauma. Bacterial infections may develop hematogenously or occasionally by retrograde movement from infected accessory sex glands. Periorchitis or epididymitis may coexist.* 1 Testicular enlargement is due to edema that accompanies the inflammatory reaction. Contusion and inflammation of the testes occur in racing stallions, particularly Standardbreds. S. Zooepidemicus is commonly isolated from infectious orchitis in stallions. In bulls, infectious orchitis is caused by B. abortus, M. tuberculosis, T. pyogenes, Nocardia farcinica, bovine herpesvirus
1 (IBR-IPV), and other miscellaneous organisms.2 Epididymitis orchitis in rams may be associated with B. ovis or Actinobacillus seminis and Actinobacillus-like organisms.3
■ Clinical Signs and Differentials Acutely orchitic testes are hot, swollen, and painful. The swollen testis is turgid because of restriction by the tunica albuginea. Edema of the
other miscellaneous organisms cause epididymitis.1 In mature rams the disease is commonly associated with B. ovis, whereas in ram lambs organisms from the Actinobacillus, Haemophilus, Histophilus, and Corynebacterium groups are prevalent.3 Routes
of infection have been postulated to be hematogenous, venereal,
or ascending from genitourinary passages, similar to routes of infection proposed for orchitis. Injuries, such as penetrating wounds, especially during shearing, could compromise the scrotal sac, leading to epididymitis. All routes of infection are likely to occur to some degree, depending on the pathogen
• Four principal goals for infection control programs:
• Decreasing the likelihood of exposure to infectious agents among patients and personnel
• Decreasing the intrinsic risks for health care-associated infections (HAIs)
• Maximizing participation of personnel in infection control activities
• Optimizing the efficiency of infection control procedures and policies
• These goals are achieved through five major actions:
• Decreasing direct and indirect patient contact
• Optimizing hygiene
• Using proven directed actions that decrease risks or are protective against HAIs, as well as actions that have a reasonable likelihood of efficacy based on biology, principles of pathogen transmission, and data from other species
• Identifying high-risk patients and HAIs through efficient surveillance strategies
• Optimizing communication and education among all personnel
Much attention is paid to the possible role of the inanimate environment in HAIs of large animals. Contamination of the hospital environment by microorganisms is inevitable and entirely expected, and detection of microorganisms in a hospital environment does not, by itself, indicate anything of clinical relevance. A variety of factors are likely involved in the potential clinical relevance of contaminants, including the organism, numbers present, likelihood of contact with susceptible hosts, degree of susceptibility of potential hosts, environmental effects (temperature, ultraviolet exposure, humidity), and routine infection control protocols. Many microorganisms grow well on environmental surfaces, provided there is adequate moisture
Programs for controlling infectious diseases are important components of management practices directed toward maximizing the health, productivity, and performance of horses.* * 1 Infectious disease in an individual horse or outbreaks of infection in a group occur when horses experience challenge with an infectious agent at a dose sufficient to overcome resistance acquired through previous natural exposure to the disease or through vaccination. For this reason, programs for controlling infectious diseases should have the following three goals:
1. To reduce exposure to infectious agents in the horses' environment

Our knowledge of the different vaccines' ability to protect against infection with BVDV is rapidly increasing. Currently, three kinds of BVDV vaccines are available: MLV vaccines, temperature-sensitive vaccines (available only in Europe), and inactivated virus vaccines (Table 48.9). MLV BVDV vaccines have demonstrated advantages over the newer inactivated vaccines. Most of these advantages are common to all MLV vaccines1,2: (1) MLV vaccines are less expensive, (2) postvaccination anaphylactic reactions occur less often than after administration of some inactivated vaccines,
(3) immunity is achieved more rapidly after administration
of a single dose (within 7 to 10 days), (4) MLV vaccines produce much higher levels of serum-neutralizing antibodies,* 3 *
(5) immunity lasts longer,4-6 (6) MLV vaccines are effective
against a broader spectrum of viral strains,3 and (7) MLV BVDV vaccines are better able to protect the developing fetus from infection.7 * * * *
On the other hand, MLV BVDV vaccines have certain
disadvantages compared with inactivated BVDV vaccines: (1) some MLV vaccines can produce mild immunosuppression for brief periods after administration,5 * (2) some have been
associated with what is usually a rather low incidence of a highly fatal disease syndrome, postvaccinal mucosal disease8,9
(see later), and (3) until recently, MLV vaccines were not
ordinarily recommended for routine use in pregnant cattle.
Studies have shown that the duration of cross-neutralizing
antibodies stimulated by inactivated BVDV vaccines depends
on the antigenic similarity between the vaccine strain and the wild-type virus to which the cow is exposed.10,11 If there
are few common proteins, the ability to neutralize can be as short as 4 months; if there are many common antigenic sites, neutralization may last a year. MLV BVDV vaccines stimulate cross-neutralizing antibodies that can still be detected 18 months after vaccination.3 This longer duration was further demonstrated by a modified live BVDV vaccine receiving a USDA label containing a 1-year duration of immunity against the birth of both type 1 and type 2 persistently infected calves.12
Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of both modified live13,14 and inactivated type 1 vaccines15 to provide protection against type 2 BVDV strains, although the protection afforded by the MLV vaccine was more complete. The USDA/APHIS has established a licensing protocol for BVDV vaccines to obtain a type 2 BVDV protection claim. Most of the vaccines licensed against both BVDV type 1 and type 2 contain BVDV type 1 and type 2 isolates. The question of current vaccines' ability to cross-protect against BVDV type 1b strains has been raised,16 and further studies are needed to determine the level of protection afforded by current vaccine strains.
cally from bovine pneumonia as early as 1971 with occasional subsequent descriptions of isolations.85-89 Much of the currently
available information about prevalence of B. trehalosi in bovine pneumonia is anecdotal and not well documented in the sci
entific literature. What little data are documented, however, indicate a low prevalence of the bacterium. The Veterinary Laboratories Agency (VLA) laboratories in the United Kingdom
documented 65 isolates of B. trehalosi from bovine pneumonia
cases since four initial cases were recorded in 2003.90 Isolations ranged from 0 (2005) to 22 (2009) with over two thirds of the isolates occurring in the last 3 years of the study. Isolates have been from both beef and dairy cattle, and all ages have been
affected. In 72% of the cases, B. trehalosi was isolated in
combination with one or more other bacterial or viral respiratory pathogens. From 2007 and 2009, B. trehalosi was isolated from
approximately 20 to 45 cases of respiratory disease in dairy
cattle annually.84 That report also documented multiple case
Little is known about immunity against B. trehalosi, and commercial vaccines specifically targeting this agent are not currently available. There is only approximately 35% homology between the genomes of B. trehalosi and M. haemolytica91 Some
gram-negative LPS core antigens assist in either the control
of bacterial infection, neutralization of bacterial endotoxin, or
a combination of both. In the trial where clinical coliform mastitis was reduced by 82%, however, vaccination did not reduce the incidence of subclinical intramammary coliform infections that were present at the time of calving.27
Vaccination Programs
Recommendations for use of bacterins to prevent disease associated with salmonellosis are summarized in Table 48.11. Cows should not receive other vaccines containing gramnegative organisms (Pasteurella, Salmonella, Brucella, Campylobacter [Vibrio], Histophilus somnus, E. coli, or M. bovis bacterins) within 5 days of vaccination with J-5 E. coli bacterin.
A J-5 E. coli bacterin has also successfully reduced morbidity and mortality in experimental S. Typhimurium infection in calves.28 However, because of the short half-life of passively acquired antibodies stimulated by mutant LPS core antigen vaccines,29 vaccination of dry cows is unlikely to be an effective control measure for salmonellosis in calves except when calves

The efficacy of a given parasite control program should not be assumed; it should be assessed on a regular basis. The routine performance of quantitative tests for parasite burdens allows veterinarians to identify the development of anthelmintic resistance. Although fecal flotation is useful in identifying the presence of parasites, the use of the McMaster technique allows an estimation of the numbers of parasites. Both procedures are relatively simple and can easily be performed in the practice setting. Alternatives to the McMaster technique include FLOTAC, Mini-FLOTAC, and smartphone automated parasite egg counting systems to determine fecal egg counts (FECs).1 Once resistance has been documented, it is important to identify the species involved through larval identification.
FEC and FEC Reduction Tests2’6 (Box 49.2)
Determining numbers of nematode eggs in feces is the simplest and least invasive way to evaluate a parasite control program. Fecal examination may be of limited value in an individual animal because animals dying of parasitic infection may have no eggs in the feces, whereas animals with high FECs may be clinically normal. Nevertheless, FECs can provide information on the level of infection present in an individual animal, particularly when egg counts are repeated over the course of
2 to 3 weeks. Herd average FECs are more useful and provide

Traditionally, lungworms are those nematode parasites that reside in the lung as adults. In domestic ruminant and equine species, most clinical cases of lungworm involve the genus Dictyocaulus. Species of Dictyocaulus tend to be host specific, with Dictyocaulus viviparus, Dictyocaulus filaria, and Dictyocaulus arnfieldi found in the bronchi of cattle, small ruminants, and equids (horses, ponies, donkeys), respectively. Sheep and goats may also be infected with Protostrongylus rufescens and Muellerius capillarisM This section focuses on Dictyocaulus infection, with a brief discussion of other lungworm parasites found in small ruminants.
Because verminous pneumonia requires specific treatment, it is important to distinguish it from diseases caused by other infectious agents. Often the role of lungworm in the cause of

The interrelationship between infectious agents and the host immune system is complicated. Infection, regardless of etiology, initiates a cascade of complex reactions intended to assist the host in control and elimination of the infectious agent. When the immune system is compromised, infectious agents have an increased opportunity to become established and cause significant disease in the host. This may happen because external factors suppress immune function in the host before encountering a pathogen or because the pathogen suppresses immune responses in the host.
Common Infections in the Immunocompromised Host
Immunocompromised horses are incapable of developing a normal immune response, usually as a result of an immunodeficiency disorder, immunosuppressive therapy or endocrine dysregulation, underlying disease, or malnutrition. When an equine host has impaired immune responses for any reason, infectious agents have an increased opportunity to establish persistent infection or cause significant harm to the host. For many immunocompromised horses, the result is persistent or unusually severe disease secondary to infection with common equine pathogens. In some situations, however, the immune capabilities of the horse are so impaired as to enable normally nonpathogenic infectious agents to cause disease. Identification of such pathogens or patterns of infection in an equine patient should lead the clinician to suspect underlying immunodeficiency.
Undoubtedly, primary immunodeficiency disorders (including SCID, agammaglobulinemia, FIS, and CVID), described in detail earlier in this chapter, represent the principal cause of immunocompromise in horses.1-8 The most commonly described pathogens in horses with severe primary immunodeficiency include adenoviruses, Cryptosporidium parvum, Candida spp., P. jirovecii (formerly P. carinii), and R. equi (in adult horses). These are generally considered to be pathogens of the respiratory and GI tracts, and most affected horses present with persistent or severe clinical signs associated with these body systems. Horses with less severe primary or secondary immune deficiency (e.g., selective IgM deficiency) may present with recurrent respiratory tract infections associated with a variety of bacterial pathogens.4 The most common secondary immunodeficiency disorder of horses is FPT of immunity.9 Affected foals commonly develop bacterial septicemia with or without localized bacterial infections.
Some foals with FPT or other forms of immunosuppression develop localized or systemic candidiasis.10,11 This disorder appears to be most common in foals with FPT that have been treated with broad-spectrum antimicrobials for treatment of bacterial septicemia. This syndrome has some similarities to mucocutaneous candidiasis in people, which has been associated with several different subtle T-cell defects. Oral lesions range from discrete, focal, white, plaquelike lesions on the margins of the tongue to a generalized, thick, white, pseudomembranous coating covering the tongue and gingival mucosa. Most foals exhibit bruxism, ptyalism, fever, and depression. Other
(Color Plate 54.3) are the most important plant-related toxicoses in the western United States and significantly affect animals in other areas of the world.10 A review of poisonous plants
affecting livestock in China suggested locoweeds were responsible for an estimated 80% of all livestock losses due to plant toxicoses.2 Many species in these genera can cause four different toxic syndromes: sudden death from methemoglobinemia due to nitro compounds in cattle and sheep (milkvetch [Astragalus spp.]); respiratory syndrome with emphysema-like signs, most
often seen in sheep (milkvetch [Astragalus spp.]); neurologic signs (Astragalus spp. and Oxytropis spp.); and selenium toxicosis (Astragalus spp.). Recent investigations have shown that the toxin swainsonine, responsible for the signs of nervous system dysfunction, is produced by an endophyte (Undilum oxytropis) in the plant seeds rather than by the plants themselves.39
Swainsonine triggers clinical signs after chronic locoweed ingestion in horses and ruminants. This same toxin poisons horses and cattle consuming swainsona or darling pea (Swainsona spp.) in Australia.3 The toxin creates a lysosomal storage disease in which α-mannosidase is inhibited, resulting in swelling of axonal hillocks and growth of new dendrites and synapses in severe locoweed cases, a nonreversible change.36 * *
Clinical neurologic signs of locoweed intoxication begin with depression and incoordination and progress to aberrant behavior, aggression, circling, weight loss, and eventually death if locoweed consumption continues. In affected horses, this leads to unpredictable behavior, endangering riders and handlers, so these animals are often euthanized or perhaps salvaged for breeding. Similar signs may be seen in horses forced to eat

Clinical manifestations of oxalate poisoning are variable and depend on factors such as the form of oxalate in the consumed plant, the animal species, and the rate of consumption. Plants capable of causing oxalate toxicity are listed in Table 54.7. The balance between soluble (oxalic acid) and insoluble forms of oxalate in plants varies and is affected by GI tract pH following ingestion. Binding of calcium can occur in the GI tract lumen.
