“…It causes respiratory disease in young horses, abortion in pregnant mares, neonatal death in foals, and myeloencephalopathy (equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy: EHM), resulting in a serious economic impact on the horse industry [3,4,25]. The recent increase in EHM outbreaks among horses in the U.S.A. and Europe is of major concern to the equine veterinary community, since affected animals often have a poor prognosis [6,8,[12][13][14]16]. The molecular epidemiological study conducted by Nugent et al revealed that a single non-synonymous nucleotide (nt) substitution of guanine (G) for adenine (A) at position 2254 in the viral DNA polymerase gene (encoded by open reading frame [ORF] 30), which results in a change of asparagine to aspartic acid at amino acid position 752, is significantly associated with outbreaks in which neurologic signs have been recorded [22].…”

ABSTRACT. A single non-synonymous nucleotide substitution of guanine (G) for adenine (A) at position 2254 in the viral DNA polymerase gene (encoded by open reading frame [ORF] 30) of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) has been significantly associated with neuropathogenic potential in strains of this virus. To estimate the prevalence of EHV-1 strains with the neuropathogenic genotype (ORF30 G 2254 ) in the Hidaka district-a major horse breeding area in Japan-we analyzed the ORF30 genomic region in cases of EHV-1 infection in this area during the years 2001-2010. Of the 113 cases analyzed, 3 (2.7%) were induced by ORF30 G 2254 strains. This prevalence is lower than those observed in the U.S

“…Bakos et al (2000), McCann (2000), Wollanke (2004) and Gerber et al (2006) did not identify the type of toxin in the cases of equine botulism that they described. Goehring et al (2005) found antibodies against type A, B and D in horses from premises suspected of having cases of equine botulism. Botulotoxin type B is also the most commonly identified type of botulotoxin in horses in the USA (Coffield and Whelchel, 2007).…”

“…Wollanke (2004) reported on a botulism outbreak in a group of 16 horses and ponies in Germany of which nine died or had to be euthanized. Goehring et al (2005) reported suspected cases of equine botulism in at least four premises in The Netherlands during a five year period (2000 to 2004). Gerber et al (2006) argue that the incidence of equine botulism in Europe is increasing because 38 horses with symptoms highly suggestive of botulism had been referred to the equine clinic of the veterinary faculty in Bern since November 2001 whereas no cases of botulism in Switzerland were described in the literature of the last century.…”

Two cases of botulism in horses are described in the article. In the first case two horses died, one survived and recovered after four weeks. Botulotoxin type B was detected using a mouse bioassay in the gastrointestinal content of both dead horses; Clostridium botulinum bacteria were cultivated from one of them. In the second case two horses were affected. One of them was euthanized because of persistent recumbency, the second one recovered after six weeks. Detection of botulotoxin in the serum of the dead horse using the mouse bioassay was not successful.

Nine equine herpesviruses (EHV) have been known to infect equines. Equine herpesvirus type-1 (EHV1) is an important and ubiquitous viral pathogen of the horse and produces syndromes of respiratory disease, epidemic abortion and sporadic encephalomyelitis. This review article is focused on some aspects of EHV1 biology, its life cycle and pathogenicity in the natural host. Vaccination is one of the best options to fight EHV1 infection. Various strategies of vaccination that have been investigated and developed over the past decades will be presented in this review. Diagnosis is important to start specific treatment. The latest diagnostic techniques which were developed recently together with conventional will also be discussed.All copyrights reserved to Nexus® academic publishers
