Investigation of Selected Prevalence Factors Associated with EHV-2 and/or EHV-5 Infection in Horses with Acute Onset of Fever and Respiratory Signs. [PDF]
VirusesThe purpose of this study was to determine any associations of EHV-2, EHV-5, and dual infection with EHV-2/-5 with demographic parameters, clinical signs, and coinfection with other common respiratory pathogens.

Effect of valacyclovir on EHV-5 viral kinetics in horses with equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis. [PDF]
J Vet Intern Med, 2018 BackgroundEquine herpesvirus‐5 is commonly isolated from the lungs of horses with EMPF, suggesting an etiological link. Valacyclovir is used empirically to treat EMPF; however, no data is available concerning its impact on EHV‐5 viral kinetics.ObjectivesTo determine the effect of oral administration of valacyclovir on EHV‐5 viral load measured by qPCR ...

PSVII-37 First molecular detection of Equine Herpesvirus type 2 (EHV-2) and type 5 (EHV-5) in upper respiratory liquids of healthy training horses from southern Brazil [PDF]
J Anim Sci, 2019 Abstract Multiple pathogens may cause and sustain respiratory infection in horses, either alone or as co-infection, leading to disruption and interruption of training, racing and other competitions. Molecular approaches have successfully provided opportunity for pathogen involvement and characterization, particularly from samples of ...
