This report discusses the current research findings regarding veterinarian-client interactions and relationships and how they relate to equine veterinary practice. The application of the relationship-centered care model in equine medicine is described, and proven clinical communication skills that illustrate how to incorporate this model into equine veterinarian-client interactions are provided.

We sequenced the eight segments of influenza A virus strains A/equine/Ibaraki/1/2007 and A/equine/Yokohama/aq13/2010, which are strains of the Florida sublineage clades 1 and 2 of the H3N8 subtype equine influenza virus. These strains have been used as vaccine strains in Japan since 2016 in accordance with World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) recommendations.

West Nile (WN) virus was identified in the Western Hemisphere in 1999. Along with human encephalitis cases, 20 equine cases of WN virus were detected in 1999 and 23 equine cases in 2000 in New York. During both years, the equine cases occurred after human cases in New York had been identified.

The recent molecular characterization and sequencing of equine P-selectin (ePsel), and its glycoprotein ligand, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), have provided the tools for further investigation into their role in leukocyte trafficking. Here, we report the generation of a genetically engineered chimeric protein (ePsel-IgG) in which the equine P-selectin lectin and epithelial growth fa...

Brazil is the second country on equine embryo world production. Problems related to the application of equine embryos transfer in Brazil are discussed in this article. The main factor related to low efficacy of Equine Embryos Transfer programs consists in the difficulty to induce multiple ovulations Among the most common difficulties and limitations faced in our country, we emphasize the utiliz...

Equine epizootics of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) occurred in the southern Mexican states of Chiapas in 1993 and Oaxaca in 1996. To assess the impact of continuing circulation of VEE virus (VEEV) on human and animal populations, serologic and viral isolation studies were conducted in 2000 to 2001 in Chiapas State. Human serosurveys and risk analyses indicated that long-term endemic tran...

providing suitable analgesia following diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopic surgeries, that areconsidered to cause some degree of postoperative pain, is a necessity in equine practice. the aim of thepresent study was to evaluate the equine synovial fluid biochemical and cytological changes as well asclinical assessments of the joint following intra-articular administration of ketamine. six a...

Abstracts of the The 9th International Conference on Canine and Equine Locomotion, Utrecht, Netherlands 2023.

A detailed examination of the cardiac system is essential to a complete physical examination of horses. An understanding of the peculiarities of cardiac auscultation in horses is important in this evaluation. These peculiarities are associated with the large gauge of the equine central cardiac system and high vagal tone. Author’s address: Idaho Equine Hospital, 16080 Equine Dr, Nampa, Idaho 836...
