Welcome to equIDblog
Welcome to equIDblog, a new public resource all about equine Infectious Diseases! This site, sponsored by the Ontario Veterinary College Teaching Hospital (OVCTH), is designed to provide high quality information about infectious disease topics related to horses.
The main equIDblog page is regularly updated with posts about equine infectious disease, in a blog format. It provides information and commentaries about recent and important issues pertaining to this field. New posts will be going up every day or so, so check back regularly. Periodically there will also be "case posts", which describe a horse with a particular infectious disease, with an emphasis on explaining what the problems and issues are with similarly affected horses.
Don’t miss the equIDblog Resources page, which contains detailed information sheets on various infectious disease topics which can be downloaded and/or printed. More information is available on specific diseases, as well as issues such as vaccination and antibiotic use.
Also on the Resources page is an infection control section, focused on equine hospitals. There you’ll find infection control resources, including hospital protocols and information sheets developed by the OVCTH for clients.
You can also register on the main page to receive automatic e-mail notification when new posts go up, so you'll never miss the latest updates! We hope that you'll find this site educational and informative, and we welcome any comments and suggestions for future blog topics.
