I-Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis yisifo esibulalayo esingashiya amahhashi akhubazeke kakhulu futhi angabangela ukufa. Ukujwayeza ngokuvamile kuvame ngoba ukuqala kuyafana nezinye izifo. Ngasekupheleni kuka-2015, ihhashi elinesiqiniseko sokuthi i-Chagas Disease yacatshangwa ukuthi i- EPM futhi yalashwa. Kodwa, i-Chagas ne-EPM ibangelwa i-protozoa ehlukile, futhi ukwelashwa kufanele kube okuqondile kule nkinga.
Ngokungafani neChagas kodwa okuthinta abantu nezinye izilwane ezincelisayo, i-EPM ithinta kuphela amahhashi.
Amagama:
I-Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis nayo yaziwa yi- EPM yokuqala.
Izimbangela:
I-vector noma inkampani yenethiwekhi ye-protozoa ye-EPM yi-opossum. Umswakama we-opossums ungaqukatha ama-sporocysts - ama-cysts aqukethe izinhlamvu ezingakwazi ukukhiqiza ngokweqile. Amahhashi angangenisa lezi zitshalo ngokudla, utshani noma amanzi angcolile nge-opossum feces. I-protozoa ingashiya izilonda emthonjeni womgogodla nobuchopho. Yimonakalo yezinzwa ezingabangela izimpawu ezihlukahlukene ze-EPM. Futhi yingakho kuwukuhlakanipha ukuqeda ama-opossums ekuhlaleni emadlelweni amahhashi noma isitoreji se- hay .
Izimpawu:
Enye yezinkinga ngokuthola i-EPM ukuthi ingabonakala njengezinye izifo eziningi zezinzwa. Izimpawu ziyahlukahluka phakathi kwamahhashi ngakho akuzona zonke amahhashi azoba nazo zonke izimpawu. Ezinye izimpawu zingabandakanya:
- ukulahlekelwa kokusebenzisana
- i-muscle atrophy
- ubunzima bokugwinya
- sore back
- ukukhubeka
- ukukhala
- ukukhiya okuhlanganyelwe kwe- stifle
- ubuthakathaka
- ijwabu leso
- ikhanda lokuhamba
Ukuhlolwa okucophelela, igazi noma izivivinyo zomgogodla kufanele zenziwe ukulawula izifo ezifana ne- West Nile Virus , i-rabies noma i- encephalitis yegciwane . Uma ukuxilongwa sekuqinisekisiwe ukuthi inkambo yokwelapha ephumelela kakhulu ingaqala.
Imiphumela:
Uma ihhashi lithinteka kancane ungabona kuphela ukukhubeka noma ukukhubazeka okuncane. Uma kushiywe kungalashwa ihhashi kungenzeka lingakwazi ukuma noma ukugwinya (okungase kudideke noWobblers Syndrome ) nokufa kungenzeka. Amahhashi kunoma yikuphi ubudala, ubulili noma ukuzalwa angakha i-EPM. Amahhashi amancane namahhashi athunyelwa njalo kubonakala sengathi ayengozini enkulu. Ingozi icatshangwa ukuthi inkulu ekwindla izinyanga kunezinye izikhathi zonyaka, mhlawumbe ngoba ama-opossums afuna izindlu ezisezindaweni ezizungezile nezizungezile njengoba isimo sezulu esiphezulu sondela.
Ukuvimbela:
I-opossums ithwala isilwane esibangela lesi sifo ngakho kubalulekile ukwenza indawo yakho eqinile ingathandeki kulezi zilwane. Ama-opossums azodla cishe noma yini okubandakanya izilwane ezifile (ukubulala emgwaqeni), inja kanye nokudla kwesikati noma ukudla kwehhashi. Kubalulekile ukuthi zonke izitolo zokudla zivikeleke futhi noma yisiphi isidumbu sezilwane singcwatshwe ngokushesha. Hlanza noma yikuphi okuphakelayo okuphazamisayo ngokushesha. Uma ama-opossum ahlala endaweni yakho kufanele abanjwe ngeso lengqondo futhi asuswe. Uthango lenzelwe ukuvimbela ukungena kwalezi zilwane futhi kufanele kucatshangelwe ukuthi ama-opossums ayinkinga. Izitayela ezinjenge-diamond mesh wire link clence zingenza kube nzima ngama-opossums ukukhuphuka, ukuwagcina emadlelweni akho.
Ukwelashwa:
Ngenxa yokuthi i-EPM ingabonakala njengezinye izinkinga eziningi zezinzwa, ukuhlolwa kokuhlolwa kwezilwane kuyadingeka. Ngokuxilongwa okusheshayo nemishanguzo efanele amahhashi amaningi azobuya e-EPM, noma kunjalo, kungenzeka ukuthi kube khona umonakalo ongunaphakade. I-vet yakho izohlola ukuhamba nokuhamba, izothatha igazi kanye namasampuli e-spinal fluid. Lezi zizohlolwa nge-protozoa. Ukwelashwa kuhlanganisa izidakamizwa zokulwa ne-antiprotozoal, i-antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory ephethwe yizilwane zakho zezilwane. Ukwelashwa kungase kube yinde futhi kubize futhi kungaphumelelanga uma i-protozoa ishiye umgogodla nobuchopho bulimaza kabi.
