In tropical and subtropical climates, infection of periocular tissue by Habronema larvae is a recognised cause of conjunctivitis or blepharitis. To the authors' knowledge, only a few cases of habronemiasis have been described in Western Europe, and it has not been documented previously in the...

This paper aims at the presentation of habronemiasis, a disease of horses caused by the nematodes Habronema spp. Pathological lesions are caused by the invasion of the larvae of nematodes. These parasites become identified with increased frequency in horses in Poland due to the intense travelling...

The aim of this study was to identify the frequency of cutaneous lesions in horses diagnosed in Southern Brazil, through a retrospective study and identification of the anatomic location of the lesion, the breed, gender and age of the animals affected. A retrospective study on skin lesions in ...

A 20-year old gelded pony presented with paraphimosis and a swollen, distended prepuce first observed two months previously. A 12×20 cm ulcerated mass was located along the internal and external lamina of the preputial fold. Differential diagnoses included neoplasia (squamous cell carcinoma) and ...

The adult nematodes live in the horse's stomach, laying eggs, which pass...

With 3 months history of non healing wounds immediately below the medial canthus of both the eyes. Grossly, granulomatous lesions covered with yellow caseous materials were observed at lacrimal area. Blood examination was unremarkable other than eosinophilia. An intramuscular injection of 0.2 mg/kg ...
