  • Title: Streptococcus equi Subspecies equi.
    Author: Boyle AG.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2023 Apr; 39(1):115-131. PubMed ID: 36737294.
    Abstract:
    Strangles, caused by the bacteria Streptococcus equi subsp equi, is a highly contagious disease of equids classically characterized by a high fever and enlarged lymph nodes of the head. Diagnostic sampling depends on the stage of the disease. The goal of treating strangles is to control transmission and to eliminate infection while providing future host immunity. Daily temperature checking and isolation of febrile horses is the key to controlling outbreaks. Eradication of this disease will not be possible until S equi carriers are eliminated from the equine population.
