EHV-1EHV-4VaccinationELISA antibodyA silent cycle of equine herpesvirus 1 infection was described following epidemiological studies of unvaccinated mares and foals on a Hunter Valley stud farm. Following the introduction of routine vaccination with an inactivated whole virus equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1...
Example 4 Analysis of Virulence in Horses Although pathogenicity of individual EHV-1 strains using the mouse model can be correlated with behavior in the natural host, more conclusive evidence can be obtained from vaccination trials in horses. In addition, the level of protection against challenge...
For each menstrual period, daily first morning urine specimens were collected 8 to 18 times, and serum specimens 2 to 5 times. Thus, measurements were repeatedly observed over menstrual cycle days within menstrual periods. Owing to missing observations, the number of observations differed from ...
The results indicated that the viruses circulated on the stud farm despite stringent vaccination regimens against them, and confirmed their association with respiratory disease. The absence of significantly different PCR results among the three groups of foals showed that the PCR was effective in ...
EHV-4Host rangeImmune evasionVaccineEntry ReceptorThe equine herpesviruses type 1 (EHV-1) and 4 (EHV-4) are ubiquitous pathogens that affect horse populations on all continents. Despite widespread vaccination, EHV-1 and EHV-4 infections remain a permanent risk. While the two viruses share a ...
