VETERINARY MEDICINE: HORSES AND MOSQUITOES.
Mosquitoes cause a number of diseases in horses such as west Nile virus,the eastern,Venezuelan and western encephalomyelitis..The mosquitoes transmit these infectious agents by sucking blood of the horses.The mosquito bite though painful characterized by chewing and scratching cause severe diseases,and vaccination is the only form of prevention of such diseases.
Horses should be protected from mosquitoes in barns and stalls to prevent these infections; these tips will keep horses/stables mosquito free.
1)remove any object that can collect water,destroy all tins or vessels that has stagnant water.
2)dont litter pasture with manure.
3)deworm horses regularly.
4) spray insecticides in stables/barns,
5) keep drains clean and spray insecticides in drain.
6) use fans in stables/barns to deter mosquitoes.Mosquitoes operate where there is heat and carbon dioxide buildup,thus using fans will ensure free flow of air and remove the carbon dioxide.The fans keep the air moving,making it impossible for the mosquitoes to operate as they only function where air is still.
7) remove manure from stalls daily and from pasture 2 times a week.
8) use of screens in stable.
9)dont leave lights on overnight in stables and during the evening.
