Disease. EQUIMUNETM helps
horses overcome upper respiratory
diseases by stimulating the
animal's own immune system to
fight the infection. In Canada,
equine respiratory disease complex
is most commonly caused by
Rhinopneumonitis virus, or
equine strains of influenza viruses.
Upper respiratory disease is
generally seen in horses less than
five years of age, and often occurs
in animals congregated at race
tracks, shows, or breeding farms.
The problem is generally recogniz-
ed as a classical "flu," with
depression, nasal discharge, in-
creased body temperature, and a
harsh cough. In racing and perfor-
mance horses, the problem may be
seen as a loss of performance
without the classical respiratory
signs.
EQUIMUNETM is an ad-
juvanted, stabilized emulsion of
immune stimulants obtained from
mycobacterial cell walls which
have been modified to reduce their
toxic and allergic effects but which
retain their immunostimulant pro-
perties.
Unlike antibiotics, which are not
effective against viruses and which
often cause depression of the im-
mune system, EQUIMUNET"'
stimulates the animal's white
blood cells and initiates an immune
response. The immune system then
destroys the invading organisms by
producing antibodies, interferon,
and toxins which kill viral infected
cells.
EQUIMUNETM is available only
through veterinarians in 1.5 mL in-
dividual doses syringes. For fur-
ther information call Vetrepharm
