Some notes concerning this thingy here:

Virus Name: CYV - Chromosome Y Virus

Subject appears to be rotting away. Loss of flesh and internal organs. Some also experience bone mutations.
Rotting flesh does not give off a bad odor, nor does it attract insects. It's actually the opposite, they smell rather nice, and seem to repel insects. (Something normal horses wish for, eh?)
It appears common areas that loose flesh are the neck and belly areas, but some have lost flesh on parts of their legs.
All male subjects lack facial flesh, as well as the bottom jaw of their skull. Why is this?

This disease appears to be sexually transmitted. OMG ITS AN STD!
Male subjects mated to female horses, only male offspring seem to show the disease. Female offspring 'carry' the disease, but seem unaffected and do not rot.
Female carriers can have diseased showing foals if foals are male.
Caution! Male subject, once bred to a female horse, has a chance to infect that female with the disease, turning her into a carrier.

How does it function? Does it eat? What does it do?
Infected subjects seem to not need to eat, nor do they vocalize. This is from loss of flesh and internal organs within the neck.

All known subjects are Males. Only males?
Why not females? What makes the male special in this subject?
Males carry the 'Y' chromosome, which is needed to activate the virus.

Is this disease genetic related? Virus? Bacteria?
It is now confirmed a Virus.
The Virus infects the equine host on a chromosomal level. It mutates the chromosomes and creates an additional tiny chromosome. It is small and attaches itself to the 'X' chromosome. If a 'Y' chromosome is present, the virus activates. But if no Y chromosome is present, the virus lays dormant and does not effect the host.
*Thus: X*X = Female host = carrier.
*Thus: X*Y = Male host = Infected.
*Thus: X*X* = Female host = Dominant carrier.
*The CYV Chromosome, sometimes acts as a passable genetic chromosome on it's own, without the X needing to be passed with it.
*Thus a non-carrier mare (XX), bred to an infected male (X*Y), can result in X*Y. Here the male has passed his Y chromosome AND the viral chromosome.

If not contained, disease can spread fast and wide throughout the equine populous, through every breed, color, and type!

And what is this obsession with hats?!

___Perceptive Questions___-
Q1 by ~ShadowedMoonStables
So...if a mare breeds to a stallion while she carries it...can the foal be born with the STD and, if its a male, will it show right away? Or will it wait until later to show? That would be terrifying to see your adorable little foal slowly rotting away.
A1:
If the mare is confirmed a carrier, she then has a chance to infect her foal. Infection seems to take place while the fetus is still developing, and most often male foals are born without their lower jaws and facial flesh. Some cases have been known to also express loss of flesh in other areas when born. Depending on the severity of the infection, the foal can continue to loose flesh as it ages. Foals are not born with mutated bones aside from the lacking of their lower jaw, this happens over time as they age.

Q2 by *Forget-Me-Not-Fields
Question, how does the virus spread?
I mean, if I got an infected stallion, he loses his jaw and starts to rot, how do you prevent this from happening to other stallions?
Does it spread mostly trough blood or also trough air?
A2:
Since this is primarily a sexually transmitted virus the chance of a stallion infecting another stallion is very slim. For this to happen, the non-infected stallion would need to rub an open wound onto the infected stallion, but even then it's a 50/50 chance that the infected stallion passed any infection.
