Ross River fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection, and is primarily known for affecting humans, but horses can also contract this disease. The Ross River virus (RRV) can cause significant health issues for horses, impacting their overall well-being and performance. In this post, weโ€™ll explore what Ross River fever is, how itโ€™s diagnosed in horses, its symptoms, and how nutrition can play a role in your horses recovery.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐‘๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐‘๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐•๐ข๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ?
Ross River virus is spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes and is most prevalent in Australia. While the virus primarily affects humans, horses can also be infected, leading to symptoms similar to those seen in humans, such as fatigue, joint pain, and muscle soreness. In some cases, mild neurological symptoms can also present in the horse, significantly reducing a horseโ€™s quality of life if not properly managed.

Horses with Ross River fever often present with symptoms such as:
โ›”๏ธ Lethargy and general weakness
โ›”๏ธ Swollen and stiff joints
โ›”๏ธ Muscle pain or soreness
โ›”๏ธ A reluctance to move or exercise
โ›”๏ธ Low-grade fever
โ›”๏ธ Mild neurological weakness in limbs
These symptoms can vary in severity depending on the horseโ€™s immune response and overall health.

Diagnosing Ross River fever in horses typically involves blood tests to measure antibody titres, which indicate whether the horse has been exposed to the virus. Veterinarians will look for elevated levels of antibodies specific to the Ross River virus. While the acceptable titre levels can vary, a significant rise in antibody levels over time can confirm active infection. In some cases, horses may show high antibody levels even after recovery, making it important for veterinarians to consider clinical signs along with test results.

๐ˆ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ญ ๐จ๐ง ๐’๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐Ž๐ซ๐ ๐š๐ง๐ฌ:
The virus primarily targets the musculoskeletal system, causing inflammation in the joints and muscles. This inflammation can make movement painful and challenging for horses. Additionally, the immune system may become compromised, leaving the horse more vulnerable to other infections during the course of the disease. Ross River can also effect our horses nervous system. The inflammation of nervous tissues can lead to dysfunction in the affected areas and the immune response generated by the body to combat the virus can sometimes inadvertently damage nerve cells, leading to neurological issues. The exact mechanisms of how the virus affects the nervous system are still being researched, but it is believed that the virus can cross the blood-brain barrier, contributing to CNS inflammation.

Recovery from Ross River fever can vary widely, with some horses recovering in a few weeks, while others may take several months to over a year to fully regain their strength, stamina and appetite. During this time, nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting the immune system and aiding in recovery. ๐€๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ฑ๐ข๐๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ like curcumin, vitamin E and vitamin C can help reduce inflammation, while high-quality protein supports muscle repair. ๐๐ฅ๐š๐ฌ๐ฆ๐š, ๐จ๐ซ ๐›๐ข๐จ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐ข๐ง๐ฌ can also support your horses immunity rebuild processes and the gastrointestinal lining.

"In December 2023 our Australian Champion Hanoverian filly suffered a significant paddock accident which resulted in fracturing the C6 vertebrae in her neck & becoming severely 4/5 ataxic (5/5 being totally recumbent).
The treating veterinarian at the time gave her a very guarded prognosis and options were limited, either euthanasia or watch, wait & hope. She had a course of anti-inflammatories but had limited improvement after nearly 3 months of box rest. During this time she remained, bright, happy & engaged with everyone around her. You couldnโ€™t help but meet her and want to give her every opportunity to survive.
However, after complete box rest for 3 months, she had developed significant muscle atrophy, particularly in her neck due to impacts to her motor nerves.

I reached out to Sam at AXLR8 Equine to see if her RESTORE product might be an option. We commenced using AXLR8 Restore Xtra & Cellular Gold at the end of February.

In the months since we have seen significant improvement in her limb stability, reduction of her ataxia to a 2/5 and muscle development has returned since starting her on the AXLR8 products.

She now behaves like other 3-year-olds and likes to have a rear & play around her yard, albeit still occasionally a bit wonky. The greatest highlight was watching her manage to trot for the first time last week. What a big, confident trot it was too.
This gave me such a thrill!
Weโ€™ll be looking to start gentle physiotherapy to continue her limb stability improvement and hope that with the addition of AXLR8 Restore she will return close to full function, but if sheโ€™s unable to be a ridden horse that is ok. We now know she will not only survive but she has thrived and she has a wonderful quality of life that we could never have dreamed of at the beginning of her journey. She continues to improve every day and for now it is a matter of watch this space!"
