Gilger.There are a number of factors that can cause ACVO, a professor of ophthalmology at North Carolina State University.Some of the most common causes are infections with spiral-shapedbacteria, or spirochetes, that can be found in areas with stagnant water.The immune response to the initial infection is what causes the Uveitis.Lepto is one of the causes of this immune response.There are equine viral arteritis and equine herpeconsole.log.
