Abstract

Equine Adenitis, also known as Strangles, is a highly prevalent infectious disease in equines, affecting both sport and production animals worldwide. Caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi subspecies equi, the disease has a significant impact on animal health, equine welfare, and the economy of the equine industry. Understanding equine adenitis, its pathogenesis mechanisms, diagnostic methods, control and prophylaxis measures, and the development of new therapeutic tools, is crucial for effective disease management and mitigation of its impacts. This monograph aims to present a case report on this disease to contribute to the knowledge about equine adenitis, gathering interpretations about the information presented by the patient that justify its diagnosis.
