“…Urticaria may also be present [5] (Figure 4). In contrast to the characteristic lesions that occur secondary to the intense pruritus, urticaria is a primary lesion caused by the degranulation of dermal mast and other cells releasing histamine, platelet-activating factors and prostaglandins [6]. Horses can also develop behavioural changes in response to persistent pruritus and lesions [1,5].…”

Insect Bite Hypersensitivity (IBH, Queensland itch, sweet itch, equine summer eczema) is the most common pruritic disease of horses. It is most often caused by sensitivity to the saliva of Culicoides spp. of biting midges; however, it can also be caused by hypersensitivity to other insect species. The prevalence of IBH in horses is reported to be as high as 60% in some parts of the world. Due to the severe pruritus and effects of secondary self-trauma, IBH has animal welfare concerns, and there is currently no cure. Management of this condition is life-long, time consuming and costly. New grading systems to document disease severity are being validated, which will allow the comparison of clinical trial results of new and existing therapies. Management involves the minimisation of insect bites by use of stabling, fans, rugs and repellents. Symptomatic therapy involves the administration of systemic or topical corticosteroids, systemic antihistamines, and creams and sprays to promote skin healing and decrease inflammation. New immune-mediated therapeutics including vaccines, in addition to desensitisation procedures, show promise at controlling hypersensitivity reactions. This article will review aetiologic agents, pathophysiology, scoring systems and current and new therapies.

“…Toxoplasmosis is animal zoonosis, distributed worldwide and affecting almost all warm-blooded animal species, and humans (Tenter et al, 2002) In equines, the clinical signs due to brucellosis are mostly noticed in the musculoskeletal system mainly as the organism localize in the bursae ,joints and tendon sheaths and Fistulous withers (Ocholi et al, 2004;Kumaragurubaran et al, 2016;Musa, 2004 ;Rashmir-Raven et al, 1990;Cohen et al, 1992).…”

This study was carried out to estimate the seroprevalence rate of Toxoplasma gondii and Brucella antibodies in the donkeys and horses located in Gadarif State in May 2021. A total of one hundred and seventy (170) random blood samples were collected from donkeys and forty one (41) blood samples were collected from horses, of different ages and sexes ,however latex agglutination test and Rose Bengal test was used to estimates the antibodies. Analysis was made using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The present study revealed overall seroprevalence rate of toxoplasmosis as31.2%, however the findings concluded that rates of 11.2%, 12.9% and 7.1% in less than seven years, seven to ten years and over ten years. The estimated overall Brucella seroprevalence rate was 24 %. The in donkeys less than seven years and more than ten years among the different screened age group of donkeys showed 6.7 %. 5.3% which is less than age group seven to ten years. The southern areas showed the highest rates of infection in the studied areas, mean while the most infection was reported among the donkeys which were used for water transfer purpose.
