Özet
Equine herpesvirus-1 and -4 are contagious viruses causing respiratory disease and reproductive losses in horses. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of EHV-1 and EHV-4 in eight Turkish studs using RT-PCR analysis of nasal secretions, uterine fluids, and aborted foal tissues. Deep nasal swabs were collected from 443 horses showing acute-onset fever and/or clinical signs of respiratory disease. Additionally, uterine swabs and tissue samples (lung, liver, spleen, thymus, kidney, heart) were obtained from 152 abortion cases. Among symptomatic horses, EHV-1 DNA was found in 2 cases (0.45%), while EHV-4 DNA was detected in 67 (15.1%). One horse (0.23%) was positive for both viruses. From abortion-related samples, EHV-1 DNA was identified in 2 cases (1.32%), while no EHV-4 DNA was found. In 4915 asymptomatic horses, 13 (0.26%) carried EHV-4; none were positive for EHV-1.
