EqAHV1 (EHV1) pathogenesis in the uterus
infection following viremia
* Placenta: virus multiplication in vascular branches of blood vessels located in the base of microcotyledons in the second part of pregnancy → vasculitis, thrombosis, necrosis
* If large number of microcotyledons is affected: abortion before reaching the virus of the foetus
* In other cases, the virus reach the foetus and induced tissue damage: abortion at the end of pregnancy
EqAHV1 (EHV1) pathogenesis in the nervous system
virus multiplication in blood vessels (endothelial cells) following viremia → vasculitis, thrombosis → tissue degeneration and necrosis: encephalomyelopathy (mainly without inflammation)

nodes only - Rarely induced abortion
- Pathogenesis is not known: it is supposed the occurrence of virulent strains able to multiplicate in endothelial cells → vasculitis, thrombosis, abortion
