These syndromes have been attributed to ischemic necrosis from thrombosis in placental and neural vessels, although the mechanisms underlying thrombosis are unknown. After inhalation, EHV-1 establishes a peripheral blood mononuclear cell-associated viremia,...
متن کاملA critical view on Equine Herpesvirus-1 and on Equine Herpesvirus-associated Myeloencephalopathy (EHM)
An infection with Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1), officially and by convention now called EQUID Herpesvirus, is the cause for Equine herpesvirus-associated Myeloencephalopathy or EHM. In 2008 the USDA declared this syndrome an ‘emerging disease’ among horse populations in the U.S.A., which indicates that EHM is perceived as an expanding problem that is observed more frequently when compared ...
متن کاملEquine herpesvirus 2 (EHV-2) infection in thoroughbred horses in Argentina
