Abstract
achieve an autopsy and numerous samples (on animals and the environment) for bacteriological, mycological, parasitological, histological and serological tests. Clinical information, results of autopsies and of histological examinations, results of other complementary tests and bacteriological culture of virulent R. equi strains on numerous samples allowed confirming an outbreak of rhodococcosis in adult equidae. The occurrence of unusual clinical forms of rhodoccoccosis (including multiple subcutaneous abscesses without pulmonary involvement) affecting exclusively the ponies seems to have a multifactorial origin with the intervention of a lack of acclimatization of the ponies to local climatic conditions (tropical humid lowland region) associated with constant hyperthermia even at rest, maybe some failures in the everyday breeding practices and the probable involvement of biting arthropods.
