Strangles vaccine made available for use

Europe’s only licensed strangles vaccine — Equilis Strep E — returns to the market this month and is being released in conjunction with veterinary training.

Drug company Intervet/Schering-Plough has been running a series of workshops for vets, explaining how the vaccine should be used as part of their armoury against the infectious bacterium.

This news story was first published in the current issue of Horse & Hound (3 March, 2011). For more on strangles, see Vet clinic (24 February, 2001)
