The prevalence of DNA of EHV-2 and EHV-5 in horses with keratokonjunctivitis and clinically normal horses in Switzerland [PDF]
Pferdeheilkunde Equine Medicine, 2013 Not all viral keratoconjunctivitis can be detected by PCR as caused by EHV-2 and 5. The authors therefore compared the prevalence of EHV-2 and 5 by PCR in horses with keratoconjunctivitis and healthy horses. Conjunctival cytobrush samples of 131 horses with suspected viral keratoconjunctivitis between 2001 and 2010 and of 163 healthy horses from three ...

Neonatal Immunization with a Single IL-4/Antigen Dose Induces Increased Antibody Responses after Challenge Infection with Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1) at Weanling Age. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Neonatal foals respond poorly to conventional vaccines. These vaccines typically target T-helper (Th) cell dependent B-cell activation. However, Th2-cell immunity is impaired in foals during the first three months of life. In contrast, neonatal basophils
