“…For example, contagious equine metritis, a transmissible venereal disease caused by Taylorella equigenitalis, commonly results in embryonic loss after initial infection (Timoney and Powell 1988). Both mares and stallions can maintain the organism as inapparent carriers (Timoney and Powell 1988). Control includes identifying carriers, improving hygiene during breeding, using artificial insemination and surgical ablation of the clitoral sinuses (Timoney and Powell 1988).…”

“…Re-exposure is associated with minimal to no clinical signs. 3,4 Abortion in pregnant mares is rare. 4,5 Taylorella equigenitalis is venereally transmitted by asymptomatic carrier stallions or by infected mares during intromission, and inapparent carrier mares or stallions are responsible for spread of disease.…”

“…Stallions therefore serve as a primary reservoir of this bacterium. In mares, T. equigenitalis infection may be subclinical or may manifest as endometritis, cervicitis and/or vaginitis, which results in temporary infertility (tIMONeY and POWeLL, 1988). Mares may also develop a carrier state which can last from several months to years (heath and tIMONeY, 2008).…”

Detection of Taylorella equigenitalis and Taylorella asinigenitalis in horses in Croatia as a result of small scale survey

et al. 2017

Contagious equine metritis (CeM) is a highly contagious venereal disease caused by the bacterium Taylorella equigenitalis. In Croatia, horses are almost never tested for this disease unless it is specifically requested. to date, no positive bacteriology results for T. equigenitalis have ever been obtained in Croatia. During 2014 and 2015, 12 animals were screened for T. equigenitalis using both bacteriology and a polymerase chain reaction (PCr) test. No positive cultures were obtained, however, samples from three animals tested positive on PCr. Sequencing of the PCr products revealed that one animal was positive for T. equigenitalis and two animals for T. asinigenitalis. These results represent the first evidence of T. equigenitalis and T. asinigenitalis infections in horses in Croatia. the high prevalence of T. equigenitalis and T. asinigenitalis positive horses (n = 3) in the population tested (n = 12) strongly suggests that the overall prevalence of horses positive for Taylorella spp. in Croatia is high, and that the equine population, especially those animals used for breeding, should be regularly tested for this bacterium. In addition, these results show the low sensitivity of using culture alone and that additional molecular methods should be utilised to identify positive cases of Taylorella spp.
