What are symptoms of glanders in horses?
I need to know by Thursday for a project. And it has to be the symptoms when a horse gets infected by the disease.
----------
After infection by inhalation or through skin abrasions the disease has a 2-5 day incubation period. Infection through the skin leads to ulceration of the skin, mucous membranes and soft tissues. Infection by inhalation leads to acute glanders that primarily affects the upper respiratory tract (mouth, nose, throat) in the same way. Chronic glanders affects the joints and muscles forming ulcerated and purulent (pus-forming) lesions. The disease is no longer found in humans in the western hemisphere but is still a concern for farmers and veterinarians. (
