Quantification by real‐time PCR of the magnitude and duration of leucocyte‐associated viraemia in horses infected with neuropathogenic vs. non‐neuropathogenic strains of EHV‐ 1

Abstract excerpt

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY: Neurological disease in horses caused by infection with certain 'paralytic' strains of equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) is a potentially devastating condition the pathogenesis of which is poorly understood. Preliminary observations in both experimentally induced and naturally occurring cases of the central nervous system disease have revealed a more robust cell-associated viraemia in...
