PCR
Equine Herpesvirus 2 (EHV-2) AND Equine Herpesvirus 5 (EHV-5) (PCR)
This test is for EHV-2 AND EHV-5
The involvement of EHV-2 and/or EHV-5 in keratoconjunctivitis has long been suspected and these viruses are indeed regularly detected in conjunctival swabs. In recent years, it has increasingly been shown that EHV-2 and 5 are precursors of other viral and bacterial infections of the respiratory tract. Especially in young animals, EHV-2 and/or EHV-5 were detected in treatment-resistant, partly catarrhal-purulent, partly necrotising or abscessing bronchopneumonia. EHV-5 was recently presented as aetiological agent of 'equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis' (EMPF).
