As in the horse, the most important venereal diseases are [[Equine Viral Arteritis - Donkey|'''equine viral arteritis, EVA''']]  (Ramina ''et al'', 1999), [[Taylorella equigenitalis|'''contagious equine metritis, CEM''']] (Matsuda and Moore, 2003), and [[Trypanosomosis - Donkey|'''dourine''']] (Turnbull ''et al'', 2002). Infections with [[Pseudomonas aeruginosa|''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).
