As in the horse, the most important venereal diseases are [[Donkey - Equine Viral Arteritis|'''equine viral arteritis, EVA''']]  (Ramina ''et al'', 1999), [[Taylorella equigenitalis|'''contagious equine metritis, CEM''']] (Matsuda and Moore, 2003), and [[Donkey - Trypanosomosis|'''dourine''']] (Turnbull ''et al'', 2002). Infections with [[Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia species|''Pseudomonas aeruginosa'']] and [[Klebsiella|''Klebsiella pneumoniae'']] have also been suspected as possible causes of poor reproductive performances due to venereal transmission.

The asinine strain of '''equine arteritis virus (EAV)''' has been shown to behave similarly to the horse strain (Paweska ''et al'', 1996; Ramina ''et al'', 1999). The South African strain of EAV appears to be poorly transmissible to horses (Paweska ''et al'', 1996; Paweska ''et al'', 1997).

'''CEM organisms''' isolated from donkeys are different from [[Taylorella equigenitalis|''Taylorella equigenitalis'']] and a new nomenclature for the organism has been proposed, that is, ''T. asinigenitalis'' (Jang ''et al'', 2001; Matsuda and Moore, 2003). These ‘atypical’ donkey ''Taylorella'' have been shown to cause the same syndrome as CEM in mares and remain in the urethral fossa for as long as 111 days
