Horse enthusiasts and owners will value Chelsie J. Huseman’s, MS, PhD, article on equine diagnostics. Embedded links for each disease make this a layperson’s guide to equine diseases and testing. If you work with horse owners, the article will likely influence discussions or come up in conversation about a problem horse. We recommend veterinary teams review it sooner rather than later.
Evolution in diagnostics for equine infectious diseases has increased specificity and sensitivity, giving the veterinarian and the horse owner an upper hand in disease management and control, explains Huseman. She shares a list of diagnostic tests available for some of the more prevalent and serious diseases in horses.
