Distribution and relevance of equine herpesvirus type 2(EHV-2) infections

Archives of Virology, 1997
Equine herpesvirus type 2 (EHV-2) is a slow-growing, cytopathogenic gammaherpesvirus, which is suggested to be ubiquitous in the equine population. However, its precise role as a pathogen and its tissue tropism remains uncertain. To estimate the prevalence of EHV-2 in Germany and to investigate the possible pathogenicity of the virus, peripheral blood ...

Detection of equine herpesvirus type 2 (EHV-2) in horses with keratoconjunctivitis

Virus Research, 2001
The prevalence of EHV-2 in 27 horses with keratoconjunctivitis and 21 clinically healthy horses of different ages and stocks were analyzed. We demonstrated that EHV-2 was present in 12 keratoconjunctivitis cases as shown by nested PCR on ocular swabs.

Equine herpesvirus type 2 (EHV-2) as a predisposing factor for Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in foals: prevention of the bifactorial disease with EHV-2 immunostimulating complexes

Veterinary Microbiology, 1996
Equine herpesvirus type 2 (EHV-2), a member of the Gammaherpesvirinae subfamily, was studied in a two-phase respiratory disease complex of young foals as a predisposing factor for the secondary bacterial invasion of lungs with Rhodococcus equi (R. equi). Foals were immunized against EHV-2 on a farm where R.

Virological and molecular biological investigations into equine herpes virus type 2 (EHV-2) experimental infections

Virus Research, 1998
Two 18-month-old naturally reared ponies were used to investigate the pathogenicity of EHV-2. After dexamethasone treatment, pony 1 was inoculated intranasally with EHV-2 strain T16, which has been isolated from a foal with keratoconjunctivitis superficialis and pony 2 was similarly inoculated with strain LK4 which was originally isolated from a horse ...

Detection of equine herpesvirus types 2 and 5 (EHV-2 and EHV-5) in Przewalski’s wild horses

Archives of Virology, 1999
In blood samples of seven captive equid species from four German zoos EHV-1 specific antibodies were detected in 76% and EHV-4 specific antibodies in 73% of the 55 animals, whereas 93% were tested positive for EHV-2 and EHV-5, respectively. In only one blood sample from a Przewalski's wild horse EHV-4 DNA was amplified by PCR.

Ermittlung des Immunstatus bei Pferden mit bzw. ohne equine Keratokonjunktivitis unter besonderer Berücksichtigung einer EHV-2-Infektion

Tierärztliche Praxis Ausgabe G: Großtiere / Nutztiere, 2007
Zusammenfassung Gegenstand und Ziel: Die Rolle des in der Pferdepopulation weit verbreiteten EHV-2 als Pathogen ist umstritten, aber eine Beteiligung bei respiratorischen Infektionen und Keratokonjunktivitis mehrfach belegt. Neueste Befunde, die auf einer optimierten Probennahme und der sensitiven PCR-Technik basierten, zeigten jedoch auch bei ...

Prevalence of equine herpesvirus type 2 (EHV-2) DNA in ocular swabs and its cell tropism in equine conjunctiva

Veterinary Microbiology, 2006
Equine herpes virus 2 (EHV-2), a gamma(2)-herpesvirus, is common in horses of all ages. Its role as a primary pathogen is unclear but there is an association between EHV-2, respiratory disease and keratoconjunctivitis. The purpose of this study was to gain more information on the prevalence of EHV-2 DNA in conjunctival swabs from horses with and ...

Detection and quantitation of equid gammaherpesviruses (EHV-2, EHV-5) in nasal swabs using an accredited standardised quantitative PCR method

Journal of Virological Methods, 2014
Equid gammaherpesviruses-2 and -5 are involved in respiratory problems, with potential clinical manifestations such as nasal discharge, pharyngitis and swollen lymph nodes. These viruses are sometimes associated with a poor-performance syndrome, which may result in a significant and negative economic impact for the horse industry.

Genetic diversity of equine gammaherpesviruses (γ-EHV) and isolation of a syncytium forming EHV-2 strain from a horse in Iceland

Research in Veterinary Science, 2013
The horse population in Iceland is a special breed, isolated from other equines for at least one thousand years. This provides an exceptional opportunity to investigate old and new pathogens in a genetically closed herd. Both types of equine gammaherpesviruses, EHV-2 and EHV-5, are common in Iceland.

Cross-hybridization of equid herpesvirus-2 (EHV-2) and herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) genes to equid herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1)

Veterinary Microbiology, 1993
In contrast to previous findings, the Ab4 isolate of equid herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) was shown to share homology with the G9 isolate of equid herpesvirus-2 (EHV-2). Using Southern blotting and stringent hybridization conditions, a significant proportion of this cross-hybridization was identified by the immediate-early gene-3 (IE-3) probe from herpes ...
