The main cause of summer eczema in horses is the mosquito species Culicoides. Through the bite of the culicoides, mosquito saliva gets into the horse's body. With the help of antibodies, the immune system tries to fight the mosquito's saliva. However, it happens that the saliva is allergenic and the horse shows an extremely violent immune reaction. Typical symptoms such as severe itching, flaking skin, crust formation and chafing on the mane, tail and croup then occur. Rain eczema is an unpleasant skin disease in which the symptoms are similar to those of summer eczema and are associated with chafing.
