Strangles is an upper respiratory disease of horses caused by the bacteria Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S. equi). The disease has been reported as early as the thirteenth century. It causes a distinctive swelling under the jaw and around the neck, prompting early veterinarians to name the disease strangles. Despite the colorful name I have never seen a horse strangle to death but I have seen horses that looked close to death.
