STRANGLES: streptococcus equi meaning sore throat of the horse.
It is a bacteria.
The disease is spread by discharge leaking from the nose or abscess found on the throat then contaminating paddocks, stables, dams, water and food troughs and tack.
If another horse comes into contact with this discharge there is a great chance of the horse contracting it.
