“…Cases of arthritis, endocarditis, orchitis, periorchitis, abortion, pleuropneumonia, and enteritis have been reported. 1,5,9,12 A few cases of acute and chronic peritonitis caused by A. equuli infection have also been documented in adult horses. 6,7 Death from A. equuli peritonitis is infrequent because of rapid response to antimicrobial and supportive therapy.…”

“…It is the etiological agent of a rare, but frequently fatal septicaemia in neonatal foals also known as ''sleepy foal disease'' which is spread worldwide (Rycroft and Garside, 2000;Berthoud et al, 2002). Besides this acute form of disease, A. equuli can be associated with other types of infections in both foals and adult horses, such as abortion, enteritis, peritonitis, pleuropneumonia, pericarditis, periorchitis and arthritis (Webb et al, 1976;Dill et al, 1982;Al-Mashat and Taylor, 1986;Belknap et al, 1988;Peremans et al, 1991;Collins et al, 1994;Patterson-Kane et al, 2001). A. equuli has been subdivided in two different subspecies, designated A. equuli subsp.…”

“…equuli, a non-hemolytic subspecies is associated with "sleepy foal disease", a clinical condition characterized by acute septicemia of foals with purulent nephritis which eventually becomes chronic in the form of "joint ill", a polyarthritis . Infections in adult horses due to A. equuli are less common and generally more localized as it is described in cases of arthritis, endocarditis (Aalbaek et al 2007), abortion (Webb et al 1976), septicemia, nephritis, pneumonia (Carr et al 1997, Pusterla et al 2008, and orchitis (Patterson-Kane et al 2001). A few cases of acute and chronic peritonitis caused by A. equuli infection have also been documented in adult horses (Gay and Lording 1980, Golland et al 1994, Patterson-Kane et al 2001.…”
