Besides the threat of exotic diseases as a result of increased movement of equines between countries, indigenous equines are likely to be exposed to various existing bacterial and viral diseases. A number of infections are know to occur in equines namely equine herpes viruses, equine influenza, equine infectious anemia (EIA). galnders, Salmonella abortus equine infection and strangles to name a few. Although in India, a number of diseases have been reported for the first time in late 1980s like EIA, equine influenza, equine rota viral diarrohea, equine coital exanthema, many existing diseases viz glanders, strangles, bacterial abortions etc. are a matter of concern. Sporadic cases of glanders and outbreaks of strangles, Samonell Abortus equi infection infection are not uncommon. However, not many reports have been published in India on the caustive bacterial/fungal agent of equine infections. Thus the present investigation was carried out to collect the information on prevalance of various bacterial and fungal pathogens in equines.
