Equine Eastern Encephalitis (EEE) is a viral disease that is often fatal in horses. This disease occurs in areas and at times where the mosquito population is abundant. Climatic events associated with epidemics include excessive rainfalls and higher than normal water temperature.

EIA is a serious, sometimes fatal, blood disease in horses and other equine, including ponies, mules, asses, donkeys and zebras. Also known as swamp fever, mountain fever, slow fever or malarial fever, EIA infects the host's white blood cells. About 30 percent of known EIA cases result in death, usually within two to four weeks of the disease's onset.

Ulcerative lymphangitis is a mildly contagious disease of horses characterised by inflammation of the lymphatic vessels of the lower limbs. Classical disease is caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, but similar lesions can be produced by other pyogenic bacteria.

Botulism is a deadly form of food poisoning. It is caused by a toxin produced in food by a micro-organism which lives in soil all over the world. The organism has the ability to form a spore, or case, around itself that is resistant to heat and chemicals.

Information for the Horse Owner. This pamphlet has been compiled by a horse owner for other horse owners as a source of information on equine recurrent uveitis. The impetus for this project came from owners across the country seeking information on this disease and pooling their knowledge to help each other.

In the United States, Lyme disease is mostly localized to states in the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and upper north-central regions, and to several counties in northwestern California. In 1999, 16,273 cases of Lyme disease were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Eastern equine encephalitis is a rare disease that is spread to horses and humans by infected mosquitoes. It is among the most serious of a group of mosquito-borne virus diseases that can affect the central nervous system and cause severe complications and even death. Other similar diseases are western equine encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, and LaCrosse encephalitis.

Equine Infectious Anemia - Understanding the importance of the Coggins Test. An EIA (Coggins) blood test is required on horses before most organized events, and for transporting a horse from one state to another. EIA is caused by a virus that was first identified in 1904. Although this disease has affected horses for a long time, researchers have recently grown more interested because the EIA virus is closely related to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
