Abstract
Two most frequent causes of fever rhino pneumonitis in horses are EHV-1 and EHV-4 viruses. In some regions, EHV-1 is also a significant contributor to myeloencephalopathy respectively outbreaks and abortions. Aerosolized viral particles can spread illness when inhaled, and viruses mostly harm the uterine, pulmonary, and spinal cord mucosa, causing rhinopneumonitis, abortion, and myeloencephalopathy. Real-time PCR is now regarded as the gold standard for diagnosis, replacing viral isolation, which was once thought to be the gold standard due to the development of improved molecular techniques. The whole genome sequencing data is available for EHV 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 9.
