“…In this region of sample collection, abortions and pregnancy losses do occur in mares and donkeys, which can be related to this infectious agent. Similarly to studies by Ataseven et al (2009), we demonstrated here that donkeys may act as reservoirs of alpha herpesvirus (such as EHV-1 and EHV-8), which affect horses.…”

“…Herpesvirus infections in equids caused by equid alphaherpesvirus 1(EHV-1) and 4 (EHV-4) can result in respiratory disease, epizootic abortion in mares, perinatal mortality in foals, and neurological disease (ATASEVEN et al, 2009;PUSTERLA;HUSSEY, 2014). It is known that EHV-1 is widely distributed among the horse population of Brazil and worldwide (MORI et al, 2014;PUSTERLA;HUSSEY, 2014).…”

“…It is known that EHV-1 is widely distributed among the horse population of Brazil and worldwide (MORI et al, 2014;PUSTERLA;HUSSEY, 2014). However, there are scarce serological studies on the presence of antibodies against herpesviruses in donkeys or mules in Brazil and abroad (ATASEVEN et al, 2009;CHENCHEV et al, 2011).…”

Among the diseases that affect equines, viral diseases play an important role from a health and economic point of view, especially influenza, viral arteritis, herpes infections and vesicular stomatitis. In the Brazilian literature, there is little or no account of the occurrence of infectious diseases in donkeys. Given the importance of donkeys in different activities and the lack of information on infections that may occur in these animals, the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of anti-equine herpesvirus (EHV), anti-equine arteritis virus (EAV), anti-vesicular stomatitis, and anti-equine influenza (H3N8) antibodies in the serum of 85 donkeys bred in some regions of the state of São Paulo. We found the following antibody frequencies: 50.6% (43/85) antibodies against influenza virus subtype H3N8, 47% (40/85) anti-EHV, and 20% (17/85) anti-EAV. The donkeys were not seropositive for vesicular stomatitis. The results suggested that the agents EHV, EAV, and equine influenza subtype H3N8 circulate among donkeys in some regions of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, reinforcing the importance of establishing a routine diagnosis and epidemiological study of this species.

ResumoDentre as doenças que acometem os equídeos, as enfermidades virais assumem um papel importante do ponto de vista sanitário e econômico, especialmente a influenza, arterite viral, as infecções herpéticas e a estomatite vesicular. Na literatura nacional, existe pouco ou nenhum relato sobre a ocorrência de enfermidades infecciosas nos asininos. Tendo em vista a importância dos asininos para diferentes atividades e a falta de informações sobre as doenças que acometem esses animais, este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a frequência de anticorpos anti-EHV, antivírus da arterite equina, anti-estomatite vesicular e anti-influenza equina (H3N8) em 85 soros de jumentos criados no estado de São Paulo. Estimou-se que 50,6% apresentavam anticorpos contra o subtipo H3N8 do vírus da influenza; 47% (40/85) apresentavam anticorpos contra o EHV e 20% apresentavam anticorpos contra o vírus da arterite. Os jumentos não foram soro reagentes contra a estomatite vesicular. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que os agentes EHV, vírus da arterite equina e influenza equina subtipo H3N8, circulam entre os jumentos do estado de São Paulo, caracterizando a importância do estabelecimento de uma rotina diagnóstica e estudos epidemiológicos na espécie.

“…Herpes virus infections caused by equine herpes virus type 1 (EHV-1) and equine herpes virus type 4 (EHV-4), members of Alpha herpes virinae (Patel and Heldens, 2004) are endemic in domestic equine populations worldwide (Ataseven et al, 2009) and are considered to have wide host range such as horse, donkey and mules (Roizman, 1996). EHV-1 or EHV-4 causes upper respiratory tract disease; also, EHV-1 is associated with abortion, perinatal death, or paralytic neurological disease in equines.…”

AbstractsA cross-sectional study was conducted in selected districts of North Shewa Zone of Amhara Region with the objectives of estimating the seroprevalence of equine herpesvirus 1 and/or 4 and to identify possible risk factors for the occurrence of the disease. A total 397 working equids sera were examined for the presence of antibodies against equine herpesvirus 1 and/or 4 using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Risk factors associated include geographic location, species, age and sex of equines. The overall sero-prevalence of equine herpesvirus 1 and 4 was 71.9% (95% CI: 67-76%). The sero-prevalence of equine herpesvirus 1 and 4 was 50% (95% CI: 22%-78%) in mules, 66.7% (95%CI: 57%-76%) in horses and 74.7% (95%CI: 70%-80%) in donkeys. Variation in prevalence was observed among age groups. The sero-prevalence in older donkeys (more than eight years) was 94.7 % (95%CI: 75%-98%) while in donkeys aged less than three the prevalence was 63.7 % (54%-73%) (p=0.002). In conclusion, this study revealed that the seroprevalence of Equine herpesvirus 1 and/or 4 in North Shewa Zone was high and prevalent. Thus, further epidemiological studies in Ethiopia on equine herpesvirus and implementation of prevention measures are recommended.

“…Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) remains an important tool for diagnostic purposes, particularly in determining asymptomatic carriers within the population, in clinical research, and in field investigations about viral infections (14). The L1 gene of papillomavirus has been used to detect BPVs by PCR using the degenerated FAP59/64 primer pair, which is the most conserved region (11,15).…”
