Equine herpesvirus-1 myeloencephalopathy, an emerging threat of working equids in Ethiopia Ghent University
Epidemiology of equine herpesviruses (EHVs) in Ethiopian equids and invasion characteristics of EHV-1 and EHV-3 in respiratory and genital mucosae Ghent University
The equine herpesviruses (EHVs) are ubiquitous pathogens in equine populations worldwide. They establish a lifelong latent infection, which ensures the survival of herpesviruses in equine populations. The currently available modified live and inactivated products of EHV-1 and EHV-4 vaccines are not reliably providing protection against infection. A better understanding of the epidemiology of EHV infections in natural outbreaks is particularly ...
Monitoring acute equine visceral pain with the Equine Utrecht University Scale for Composite Pain Assessment (EQUUS-COMPASS) and the Equine Utrecht University Scale for Facial Assessment of Pain (EQUUS-FAP): A validation study University of Antwerp Ghent University
This study presents the validation of two recently described pain scales, the Equine Utrecht University Scale for Composite Pain Assessment (EQUUS-COMPASS) and the Equine Utrecht University Scale for Facial Assessment of Pain (EQUUS-FAP), in horses with acute colic. A follow-up cohort study of 46 adult horses (n = 23 with acute colic; n = 23 healthy control horses) was performed for validation and refinement of the constructed scales. Both pain ...
