myelitis

1. inflammation of the spinal cord; there are no specific myelitides in animals but myelitis is a significant lesion in listeriosis, equine herpesvirus-1 infection in horses, caprine arthritis-encephalitis, equine protozoal myeloencephalitis.

spinal cord myelitis

is most commonly caused by a viral infection, though protozoa and helminth parasites are also significant causes. The signs are weakness through to complete flaccid paralysis, including paralysis of the anus and the tail. See also myelomalacia, encephalomyelitis.
