[[Gastric Ulceration - all species]]
* Affects the pars oesophagea (margo plicatus) in adults and foals.
* Due to '''parasites''' - ''Gasterophilus'' (Bots).
* Bots are not as common as they once were.
* Look like big pink maggots.
* Killed by Ivermectin.
* ''Gasterophilus'' leave large ulcers in glandular regions of the [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]].
** Ulcers / erosions are quite deep.
* The parasites are believed to be non-pathogenic, but in large numbers they probably produce some discomfort and poor growth.
* Carcinoma can also produce ulceration in the [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]] of the horse as, in other species.
* In foals, the glandular area may sometimes be affected.
** This may be e.g. stress-related, or due to used of NSAIDs.
