A parasitic disease in horses and other animals caused by infection with Habronema worms.
From Habronema (the parasitic genus) plus -iasis (Greek suffix meaning condition or disease state), forming the disease name following medical terminology conventions.
Habronemiasis shows how ancient Greek roots hide in modern veterinary medicine—the disease was killing horses for centuries before scientists could even see the worms and name them properly.
