Managing Salmonella in equine populations can be challenging due to the epidemiology of this disease. In particular, due to the range of clinical outcomes, the occurrence of subclinical infections, and intermittent shedding. This greatly affects the ability to detect shedding and can lead to widespread environmental contamination and transmission. The veterinary profession can reduce the risk to stablemates and their caretakers, while meeting their ethical obligation, by appropriately managing these risks within animal populations and environments.
由于沙门氏菌病的流行病学特点，管理马群中的沙门氏菌具有挑战性。特别是由于临床结果的多样性、亚临床感染的发生以及间歇性排菌。这极大地影响了检测排菌的能力，并可能导致广泛的环境污染和传播。兽医行业可以通过在动物群体和环境中适当管理这些风险，在履行道德义务的同时，降低对同厩马匹及其饲养人员的风险。
