Bacterial pathogens associated with equine endometriosis: mechanisms and prevention
Endometriosis is a severe and chronic degenerative disease commonly associated with endometritis. It is characterized by fibrosis of the endometrium and cystic dilation of endometrial glands. In mares, endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility and can result in significant economic losses in horse breeding populations. While the exact etiology of endometriosis remains multifactorial and incompletely understood, histopathological changes in the endometrium are considered as pathogonomic feature.
