Researchers look to the gut in investigating debilitating eye condition in horses

Horsetalk.co.nz Researchers look to the gut in investigating debilitating eye condition in horses Scientists have found no evidence of changes in the gut bacteria of horses that may be a factor in equine recurrent uveitis, but say more research in the area is warranted. Equine recurrent uveitis is an immune-mediated disease characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation within the eye. The condition has an estimated prevalence of 1 to 2% in the United States. Despite being a major cause of blindness in horses worldwide, the exact cause remains unknown. Equine recurrent uveitis shares many characteristics with autoimmune uveitis in humans. In humans, as in horses, there is limited knowledge of the cause.
