Abstract
A project was conducted to study the prevalence,
clinical signs, treatment response and necropsy findings in equines suffering
from Surra in
Gujranwala. For
this purpose, 34334 animals brought to the
Brooke Hospital
for Animals were tested over a five year period from April, 1997 to December,
2002. The data showed that out of 34334 animals tested, 1151 were positive for
the disease, showing a prevalence of 3.35 per cent. The clinical and necropsy
findings were characteristics for the disease. Out of 1151 infected animals,
1129 (98.09 per cent) responded to isometamedium chloride and recovered while
only 22 (1.91 per cent) died.
Key words:
Surra, clinical findings, treatment, equines.
