Resumen
The management of equine infectious anemia (EIA) virus has been a constantly challenging issue for veterinary medicine, since once exposed animals can remain imperceptibly in equine farms and be active dissipators of the disease, without evidencing clinical signs until your immune status is compromised and not responding to effective treatments. The AIE virus is classified as a retrovirus, belonging to the Retroviridae family, Lentivirinae subfamily, the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) virus of humans belongs to this same family, it has a worldwide distribution with different means of transmission. the main one is direct transmission caused by hematophagous vectors of the tabanidae family, (Tabanus spp, Hybomitra spp). The animals present nonspecific symptoms weeks after infection, making diagnosis difficult. However, in some individuals fever, loss of appetite, anemia, progressive weight loss can be seen; signs that are becoming relevant according to the stage of development of the disease. In some regions the disease is known under different generic names such as "Horse AIDS, Mountain or swamp fever, equine malaria fever, slow fever among others". This article describes the most relevant aspects of Equine Infectious Anemia and the description of the main diagnostic tests for its identification.
