Incidence of Insect Bite Hypersensitivity in a Small Population of Warmblood Horse Breed in the Czech Republic
چکیده انگلیسی

Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) is a serious equine disease with a complex etiology, affecting many breeds. The availability of a small closed population with a relatively high incidence of IBH (28%) offered the chance to contribute to a better understanding of the etiology of IBH. All 736 Warmblood horses, kept in lowland floodplain meadows in the Czech Republic, were analyzed in the period 1998-2010. The morbidity rate in the offsprings of particular stallions was significantly different; the lowest was 10% and the highest 75%. The assumption that the highest occurrence of healthy offspring would be in healthy parents and vice versa was confirmed. The sex of the offsprings was not significant. To decline the disorder prevalence in this population, stud stallions should be IBH negative; afflicted mares can be tolerated to a certain extent, but their male offspring must never be used as stud. Heredity control is necessary, and stallions with IBH+ offspring should be culled. There is to date no reliable treatment available, and therefore, the development of preventive measures is particularly important. The incidence of IBH could be lowered by prudent breeding, and thus immunotherapy and complex herd management would not be necessary. However, this would be a long-term and complex process.
