A variety of infectious agents including viral, bacterial, and fungal organisms can cause equine abortion and placentitis. Knowledge of normal anatomy and the common pattern distribution of different infectious agents will assist the practitioner in evaluating the fetus and/or placenta, collecting appropriate samples for further testing, and in some cases, forming a presumptive diagnosis. In all cases, it is recommended to confirm the diagnosis with molecular, serologic, or microbiological testing. If a causative agent can be identified, then appropriate biosecurity and vaccination measures can be instituted on the farm.
包括病毒、细菌和真菌生物在内的多种传染原可导致马流产和胎盘炎。了解正常解剖结构以及不同传染原的常见模式分布，将有助于从业者评估胎儿和/或胎盘，采集适当样本进行进一步检测，在某些情况下还能做出初步诊断。在所有情况下，建议通过分子、血清学或微生物检测来确诊。如果能确定病原体，那么就可以在农场采取适当的生物安全和疫苗接种措施。
