Effect of valacyclovir on EHV-5 viral kinetics in horses with equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis. [PDF]
Abstract Background Equine 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.

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]
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 ...

The prevalence of DNA of EHV-2 and EHV-5 in horses with keratokonjunctivitis and clinically normal horses in Switzerland [PDF]
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 ...

Experimental induction of pulmonary fibrosis in horses with the gammaherpesvirus equine herpesvirus 5. [PDF]
Gammaherpesviruses (γHV) are implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis in humans and murine models of lung fibrosis, however there is little direct experimental evidence that such viruses induce lung fibrosis in the natural host.

Prevalence of Nasal Shedding of Equid Gammaherpesviruses in Healthy Swiss Horses
Equid Gamma herpesvirus (eGHV) infections have been reported worldwide and may be correlated with clinical signs, e.g., affecting the respiratory tract in young horses. eGHV are shed by healthy horses as well as horses with respiratory tract disease. The
