Equine rotavirus is one of the most common causes of infectious diarrhea in foals. Although the infection itself is self-limiting, the resulting diarrhea is due to multiple mechanisms and can be severe, requiring supportive care including fluid and electrolyte support. Prompt diagnosis is important for treatment and biosecurity decisions and can be achieved by several means. Prevention, while imperfect, currently relies on vaccination of pregnant mares before parturition, ingestion of adequate colostrum from vaccinated mares and biosecurity measures.
马轮状病毒是幼驹感染性腹泻最常见的病因之一。尽管感染本身是自限性的,但由此导致的腹泻是由多种机制引起的,可能很严重,需要包括液体和电解质支持在内的支持性护理。及时诊断对于治疗和生物安全决策很重要,可通过多种方法实现。预防虽然并不完美,但目前依赖于在分娩前给怀孕母马接种疫苗、让幼驹摄入来自接种疫苗母马的足够初乳以及采取生物安全措施。
