In the case of equine rhinoviruses, they primarily infect horses and related equids. Similarly, human rhinoviruses primarily infect humans and are a common cause of the common cold.

To assess the health of horses, a comprehensive evaluation is performed, including:Physical examination: A thorough physical examination is conducted to evaluate the overall health of the horse, including its body condition, skin, hair, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, muscles, bones, joints, hooves, and gait.Auscultation of the heart and lungs: Stethoscopic auscultation is used to assess the heart and lung sounds for any abnormalities, such as murmurs, rales, or wheezes.Electrocardiography (ECG): An ECG is performed to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart, which can help identify arrhythmias or other heart problems.Hematology and biochemistry tests: Blood samples are collected for hematology and biochemistry tests to assess various blood parameters, including red blood cell count, white blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red cell distribution width (RDW), differential white blood cell count, fibrinogen, and total serum protein.Drug Administration and MonitoringHorses are administered a sedative drug at a dose of 3.5 µg/kg and 7 µg/kg, respectively, with an interval of 4 weeks between each dose.Two-dimensional echocardiography with Doppler, motion mode, and spectral analysis: Echocardiography is performed to assess the structure and function of the heart, including heart valves, chambers, and blood flow. Doppler imaging is used to evaluate blood flow velocity and direction, while motion mode and spectral analysis provide additional information about heart function.Monitoring of vital signs: Heart rate, rhythm, respiratory rate, rhythm, and rectal temperature are recorded at 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after drug administration.Assessment of sedation depth: To ensure adequate sedation, the distance between the lower lip and the ground is measured. Additionally, the animal's stance and balance are evaluated within the holding box after drug administration.Ultrasound imaging: Ultrasound images of the right and left sides of the chest are acquired between the 3rd and 5th intercostal spaces using a Sonosite Micromaxx ultrasound system with a 1 to 5 MHz multi-frequency phased array probe.

All are true about treatment of strangles except: *1 pointAdding tetracycline to feed or water in low concentrations 200 ppm in water or feed has been used prophylactically in large groups of horses following initial diagnosis of strangles to prevent progression of infectionClinical relapse is uncommon when using penicillin as treatmentPenicillin treatment in the early part of the acute phase at onset of fever is often curative, provided the horse is protected from further exposureEmpyema is treated by lavage of the pouch or pouches with 0.9% saline solution and instillation of a solution of 10 megaunits of sodium benzylpenicillin G dissolved in 50 mL gelatin in water.Removal of chondroids necessitates use of a transendoscopic helical memory basket.
