Estudo retrospectivo dos casos de habronemose cutânea em equídeos internados no hospital escola de grandes animais da Universidade de Brasília (HVET-UnB)

Abstract

Cutaneous habronemosis is a very common horses disease, popularly known as summer disease. Flies are the vectors, in the nematode transmission phase, with the erratic cycle of the disease being the cause of illnesses and injuries in animals. The work seeks to analyze the prevalence of Cutaneous Habronemosis in horses treated at the Large Animal Veterinary Hospital of UnB from September 2018 to October 2023. All care records from the period listed were used to demonstrate the volume of care and whether there are seasons in which the disease occurs most frequently, thus concluding the relevance of the case series.
