EIA in Ireland: Managing risks of infectious
diseases
Horses are continually confronted by
the risk of acquiring infectious diseases from indigenous
and exotic sources. Developing a sound plan to minimize
and contain the risk should be a high priority. This
seminar will help identify common goals and begin to
develop a “risk guide” for the community. The presenters
will provide details on the EIA outbreak in Ireland and
discuss techniques and approaches for managing infectious
diseases.

Endometritis.
Chronic endometritis, a common cause of infertility
in older Thoroughbred mares, causes significant losses
to the industry and much frustration for veterinarians
and farm managers. It is likely that an inability to
quickly clear inflammatory debris after breeding is the
instigator of the infertility but other factors associated
with aging and inflammation appear to contribute as these
mares do not respond to oxytocin and intra-uterine antibiotics.
Contributing factors need to be identified so successful
therapies can be developed. Presenters will discuss the
economic impact of mare infertility (Karin Bosh), and
the high recovery of gram negative organisms in afflicted
mares and treatment protocols that have shown some success
(Michelle LeBlanc). Microbiological epidemiology of
isolates from the reproductive tract will be presented
by Craig Carter and David Horohov will give an overview
of immunological aspects of pregnancy.
