Culling Rate of Icelandic Horses due to Bone Spavin [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2003 A survival analysis was used to compare the culling rate of Icelandic horses due to the presence of radiographic and clinical signs of bone spavin. A follow-up study of 508 horses from a survey five years earlier was performed. In the original survey 46%

Antibody reactions of horses against various domains of the EHV-1 receptor-binding protein gD1. [PDF]
PLoS ONEEquid alphaherpesviruses 1 (EHV-1) and 4 (EHV-4) are closely related and both endemic in horses worldwide. Both viruses replicate in the upper respiratory tract, but EHV-1 may additionally lead to abortion and equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM).
