Abstract
Epizootic lymphangitis, as a forgotten disease of ungulates, again attracts the attention of veterinarians and zoologists. This infection, caused by pathogenic microorganisms, leads to inflammation of the lymphatic vessels, which can cause serious complications and even death of the animal. Despite the rarity of cases in recent decades, epizootic lymphangitis leaves a significant mark on the history of veterinary medicine, causing alertness among specialists.
The purpose of the review. To summarize current scientific data on the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and prevention of equine epizootic lymphangitis in order to assess the risk of introduction and spread of the disease to disease-free territories.
Results. The review presents the epidemiological characteristics of the etiological agent of the disease, possible main and intermediate reservoirs of the pathogen in nature, mechanisms of transmission of infection, promising directions for the development of prevention and treatment tools.
Conclusion. The causes of epidemics remain a mystery, but the factors contributing to the spread of the disease range from lack of vaccinations to unfavorable conditions of detention. The fight against this disease should be carried out through vaccination, isolation and quarantine of sick animals, disinfection of animal housing and equipment, as well as surveillance.
