It manifests itself in an acute form by hyperthermia, by prostration, an increase in heart rate or in a chronic form of a succession of hyperthermia crises, general weakness, locomotor disorders, edema and anemia.

There are risks of blood contamination and therefore mother to fetus , and with milk (from mother to foal). There is no treatment and prevention is the elimination of animal suffering.
