Absence of Equid Herpesvirus-1 Reactivation and Viremia in Hospitalized Critically Ill Horses

Abstract

These results suggest that nasal shedding and viremia of EHV-1 in hospitalized critically ill horses with acute abdominal disorder is extremely rare. Implementation of additional biosecurity protocols to limit aerosol spread of EHV-1 among horses with acute abdominal disease and other hospitalized horses is not necessary.
