The Disease
Infections with EHV1 and EHV4 primarily cause diseases of the respiratory tract. The relevance of clinical symptoms is depending on age and immune status of the infected animal. Especially infections with EHV1 can spread beyond the respiratory mucosa and cause severe manifestations of the disease: abortions, perinatal death of foals, neurologic disease. Once infected, horses stay carrier of virus lifelong. The virus can be activated endogenously by adverse conditions (stress etc.). Latent organs are the lymphatic tissues and the leucocyte fraction. Including vaccinated horses there is a high sero-prevalence within population. In recent years there are an increasing number of reports about an extremely severe EHV-1 associated form of neurologic disease, which is caused by an neurotropic EHV-1 strain with aggressive replication.
