Oppossums
Opossums can spread equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) to horses primarily through their feces, which may contain the protozoan parasite Sarcosystis neurona. When horses ingest food or water contaminated with opossum feces, they may become infected with the parasite. The parasite then travels to the horse's central nervous system, leading to neurological issues associated with EPM. Effective management of horse feeding areas and reduction of opossum populations can help mitigate this risk.
Western equine encephalitis is caused by an arbovirus an transmitted by insect bites, commonly mosquitos.
As odd as it sounds horses get the illness from opposoms who get it from birds.
If by "possums disease" you mean Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis, the answer is a few horses will, but these were the minimally affected horses. Severely affected horses (ie, those that are having difficulty walking or standing) generally do not recover fully and many are euthanized for humane reasons when they become infected.

There is no equine antibiotic known as "nortril." It is possible that you may be referring to a different antibiotic or a brand name that is not widely recognized. For equine treatments, commonly used antibiotics include procaine penicillin, gentamicin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Always consult a veterinarian for accurate information on medications for horses.
