strangles
Strangles (also equine distemper) is a contagious upper respiratory tract infection of horses and other equines caused by a bacterium, ''Streptococcus equi'' var. ''equi''. Strangles is enzootic in domesticated horses worldwide. The contagious nature of the infection has at times led to limitations on sporting events.
==Biology==
The disease is spread when the nasal discharge or material from the draining abscess contaminates pastures, barns, feed troughs, stables etc.
Equines of any age may contract the disease, although younger and elderly equines are more susceptible. Young equines may lack immunity to the disease because they have not had prior exposure. Elderly equines may have a weaker immune system.
