Equine Diseases

The article that I read list a number of equine diseases or diseases that affect horses. I know that I don't stop to think that other living organisms can get sick or diseases. One of the diseases that I found the most interesting was Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. It causes an infection in the lower limbs and chronic abscesses(recurring pockets of pus)  in the upper chest and stomach area. Just reading this article makes me feel really sad for the horses out there who have it. I'm actually kind of grateful this can only happen to horses and cattle.
