There is no such thing as SCID virus in horses. SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease) is a genetic defect in Arabian horses where a foal's immune system does not develop. The foal will look normal when born but over 4-6 months will develop a series of nasty Infectious Diseases, one of which will kill it within a year of life.

Foals with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) are born with severely weakened immune systems. SCID is an autosomal recessive inherited condition identified in Arabian and part-Arabian horses. Affected foals are highly susceptible to infections from which they cannot recover. Answer From: BlueHorse211


Horses born with the SCID virus have?

Technically horses with SCID, specifically Arabians are not born with a virus. SCID is actually a genetic defect on chromosome #9. The answer of no immune system is correct in a SCID horse with this autosomal recessive defect can not produce T and B-lymphocytes, which are part of a healthy immune system. An SCID foal will die within weeks but most likely before five months of age, because they can not fight off infection. Infection can come from: bacteria, viruses, fungus. With a careful breeding plan, the birth of an SCID foal can be prevented. no immune systym
