Over

The qPCR test detects the genome (DNA) of Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1).

Our laboratory is approved by the FEI for EHV-1 testing.

What is Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1)?

EHV-1 is a widespread herpesvirus that can cause respiratory disease, abortion, neonatal death and equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM).

It commonly infects young horses and establishes lifelong latent infection, with viral reactivation occurring during periods of stress.

Waarom testen?

The qPCR test provides rapid and accurate detection of Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1) and supports the diagnosis of respiratory, reproductive and neurological disease associated with EHV-1 infection.

Klinische tekenen

Relevant effects of this virus on the equine population:

Sporadic occurrence of mild respiratory disease associated with pyrexia, principally affecting horses under 2 years of age, can lead to interruptions in athletic training programs; this is economically the least important manifestation of EHV-1 disease.
Abortion occurring during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, results in important economic losses.
Outbreaks of neurological disease (equine herpes myeloencephalopathy or EHM) cause suffering and loss of life and also lead to extensive movement restrictions, disrupting breeding or training schedules and causing management difficulties at training centers, race tracks, and horse events.

Transmissie

Transmission occurs through:

Direct horse-to-horse contact.
Indirect contact via contaminated equipment or objects.
Respiratory secretions.
Aborted fetuses and associated fetal material.

The virus may remain infectious both in the air and on contaminated surfaces.
