It causes a disease known as equine coital exanthema. The disease is spread through direct and sexual contact, contaminated handlers and equipment, and possibly through flies carrying infected vaginal discharge . [ 2 ]
Equid gammaherpesvirus 2, also called Equine herpesvirus 2 (EHV-2), is a virus of the family Herpesviridae, originally known as equine cytomegalovirus due to its slow replication in tissue culture. However, complete sequencing of the EHV-2 genome has demonstrated that it is a member of the subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae , [ 2 ] in the genus ...
The equine encephalitis viruses and the Sindbis virus are related. The Old World and New World viruses appears to have diverged between 2000 and 3000 years ago. [14] Divergence between the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus and the eastern equine virus appears to have been ~1400 years ago. [15]
Equid alphaherpesvirus 1, also called Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1), is a virus of the family Herpesviridae that causes abortion, respiratory disease and occasionally neonatal mortality in horses. Initial spread of EHV-1 by a newly introduced horse through direct and indirect contact can lead to abortion and perinatal infection in up to 70 ...

Equid alphaherpesvirus 4, also called Equine herpesvirus 4 (EHV-4), is a virus of the family Herpesviridae that cause rhinopneumonitis in horses. It is the most important viral cause of respiratory infection in foals. [2] Like other herpes viruses, EHV-4 causes a lifelong latent infection in affected animals.
Equid gammaherpesvirus 5 (EHV-5), also called Equine herpesvirus 5, is a species of virus in the genus Percavirus, subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae, family Herpesviridae, and order Herpesvirales. It is thought to be the cause of a chronic lung disease of adult horses ; equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis .
