Horses with strangles are treated with penicillin
T
The mortality of strangles is high
F
The toxin of the agent is responsible for the lesions of strangles
F
Abscessation of the lymph nodes is a clinical sign of strangles.
T
Carriers of agent of strangles can detected with PCR

3 times 1 week apart for the introduction testing
In endemic studs strangles is generally seen in horses that are older than 6 months
