1. What are the  5 most common pathologies of horses? Mention them and give a little description too.
   
     Rhinopneumonitis: is caused by a virus of the family Herpesviridae, Equine herpesvirus 4 (EHV-4) . It is the most important viral cause of respiratory infection in foals. Like other herpes viruses, EHV-4 causes a lifelong latent infection in affected animals.

     Adenitis : This is an acute disease which affects horses of all ages, caused by Streptococcus equi. It produces inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and abscesses of the retropharyngeal and/or mandibular lymph nodes. More frequent clinical symptoms are fever, serous nasal secretion which then turns into mucopurulent and pharyngitis which can obstruct swallowing.

    Equine infectious anemia : Equine infectious anemia or equine infectious anaemia (EIA), also known by horsemen as swamp fever, is a horse disease caused by a retrovirus and transmitted by bloodsucking insects.

     Equine viral arteritis : Equine viral arteritis (EVA) is an economically important viral disease of equids. Stallions can become long term carriers of the virus, and transmit it during breeding.

     Azoturia :  It has variously been referred to as Monday morning disease, tying up, set fast, exertional rhabdomyolytis (ER) and paralytic myoglobinuria.  Azoturia or ER is usually, but not always associated with exercise. This is typically the fit horse, for example the racing horse or performance horse who 'ties up' after a spell of exercise. The syndrome has also been associated with horses returning to work after a spell of rest who have been maintained on full rations.
