Ik heb geen paard gehad met rhino, wel een paard dat zware ataxie kreeg als gevolg van EVA (equine Virale Artritis). Dit is een ziekte die meestal verloopt als een milde verkoudheid, maar Lan werd zeer ernstig ziek. Ze had op dat moment een veulen aan de voet en dat is haar redding geweest. Zo ziek als ze was, met slepende achterbenen, een staart die ze niet op kon tillen en dronken steeds bijna omvallend lopen, is ze toch op de been gebleven. Wij denken voor haar veulen.

Ik hoop dat mensen iets hebben aan dit verhaal.. geen rhino nogmaals. Maar wel neurologische klachten a.g.v. een virusinfectie.

What are the clinical signs?
The variety and severity of clinical signs of EVA vary widely. Infection may be mild (fever en nasal discharge), obvious or there may be no signs at all. Even when there are no signs, infection can still be transmitted and stallions might still become shedders.

EVA can cause abortions. Other signs include fever, depression, lethargy, stiff movement, runny nose, conjunctivitis, (‘pink eye’), swelling of the lower parts of the legs, around the eye and of the reproductive organs.

Clinical signsThe symptoms of equine viral arteritis are generally more severe in old and young animals, and in horses in poor condition. The clinical signs of this disease can include fever, depression, anorexia, leukopenia, limb edema (particularly in the hindlimbs), and edema of the prepuce and scrotum. Other, less consistent, symptoms are lacrimation, conjunctivitis, photophobia, periorbital or supraorbital edema, nasal discharge, rhinitis, and edema of the ventral body wall. Some horses develop urticaria; the hives are most often localized to the head or neck, but are sometimes generalized. A stiff gait, ataxia, icterus, dyspnea, or diarrhea may also be seen. Abortions can occur; the rate may vary from less than 10% to greater than 50%. Abortions are not necessarily preceded by clinical signs.

The Spring 2007 issue of The Draft Horse Journal carries an article, which I wrote, about the Equine Herpesvirus and its effect on pregnant mares. This is not to be confused with Equine Viral Arteritis, as this virus infection will often duplicate many symptoms seen in Herpesvirus infections. The lesions and symptoms of both diseases have been recorded for a century and a half where the cases have been called distemper, influenza, pinkeye, shipping fever and epizoatic cellulitis. The arteritis virus has apparently been responsible for the pinkeye, cellulitis and acute septicemic conditions while the herpes virus has mainly caused influenza-type diseases. Both types of viruses have caused abortions. In 1957, the name, Viral Arteritis, was given to a disease resulting from a virus recovered from an equine fetus which was different clinically, pathologically, hematologically and immunologically from the herpesvirus.

EVA, or Equine Viral Arteritis, is caused by a togavirus and only infects equidea. Cases are sporadic in occurrence although it is thought that some outbreaks may be missed as the symptoms are mild and therefore confused with those caused by the herpesvirus and equine influenza respiratory infections.
