“…31,[42][43][44]50,52,68,70,71 The remaining studies had 100% sensitivity for the detection of EHV-1 in both nasal swabs and PBMC samples using cell culture-based virus isolation methods. 25,26,29,30,[33][34][35]38,[39][40][41]47,49,55,58,59,[61][62][63][64][65][66][67]69,74,[74][75][76][77][78][79]82 Experimental studies that used qPCR to detect the presence of EHV-1 DNA in both nasal swab and PBMC samples are shown in Figure 5B. Two studies reported 100% sensitivity for PCR-based detection of EHV-1 DNA in nasal swabs, while failing to detect the viral DNA in the blood (PBMC) samples.…”
