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
Horse that are born with SCID viruses have what?
There is no such thing as the SCID virus. SCID stands for Severe Combined Immundeficiency Disorder and is a genetic disease associated with certain lines of Arabian horses. A foal born with SCID has a genetic weakness that prevents the immune system from developing normally during gestation; at birth the foal has in essence no immune system. The foal can absorb antibodies from its mother's colostrum, but as these antibodies wane the foal becomes very susceptible to even the mildest of infections and often dies within the first year of life.
