Background Real-time, quantitative PCR (qPCR) methods for detecting Rhodococcus equi in feces have been developed as a noninvasive, rapid diagnostic test for R. equi pneumonia, but have not been evaluated in a large population of foals. Objective The

Summary The immunotherapeutic efficacy of specific immune plasma was evaluated in pony foals infected experimentally with Rhodococcus equi. Viable R. equi were aerosolised into the right caudodorsal lung of 10 foals at seven days of age. Immune plasm

Background Current screening tests for Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in foals lack adequate accuracy for clinical use. Real-time, quantitative PCR (qPCR) for virulent R. equi in feces has not been systematically evaluated as a screening test. Objective
