马白质脑软化症(Elem)是一种急性、非传染性、高度致死性的马神经系统疾病。自1891年梅奥在美国首次报告马匹中出现埃利姆以来，南美洲、中国、希腊、埃及、南非和德国都发现了这种疾病[1，10，11，15，16，18，23-25]。日本已经报告了一种临床上类似的马匹疾病，但没有被归类为ELEM[21]。ELEM往往发生在零星的、季节性的、类似流行病的暴发中。在美国，埃利姆病的暴发一般发生在晚秋和冬季。据报道，在20世纪初美国南部和中西部地区的晚秋和冬季，数以千计的马匹死亡。S[4，6，14]。美国的其他埃利姆疫情发生在20世纪30年代中期的S和70年代末的S[23，19，20]。埃及和南非也报告了零星的埃利姆季节性暴发[1、15、17]。
Equine leucoencephalomalacia (ELEM) is an acute, non-infectious and highly fatal neurological disease of Equids. Since Mayo's first report of ELEM in horses in the United States in 1891, this disease has been recognized in South America, China, Greece, Egypt, South Africa and Germany [1, 10, 11, 15, 16, 18, 23-25]. A clinically similar disease in Equids has been reported from Japan but has not bcen classified as ELEM [21].ELEM tends to occur in sporadic, seasonal,'epidemic-like'outbreaks. In the United States outbreaks of ELEM have generally occurred in the late fall and winter. Thousands of Equids were reported to have died during the late fall and winter in the Southern and Midwestern regions of the United States in the early 1900's [4, 6, 14]. Other epidemic outhreaks of ELEM in the United States occurred in the mid-1930's and again in the late 1970's [23, 19, 20]. Sporadic seasonal outbreaks of ELEM have also been reported from Egypt and South Africa [1, 15, 17].
