o adenovirus 2
o Toroviruses (Coronaviridae) e.g. Berne virus
repsiratory disease, late term abortions, abortion storms in herds neurologic signs, EHM
Equine Abortion Virus, EHV-1
herpes viridae
profuse serous nasal discharge, common in foals, rarely associated with abortions, DNA virus
EHV-4; Equine rhinopneumonitis virus
herpes
self limiting vesicular, ulcerative lesions of genital mucosa and surrounding skin, occasionally on lips, muzzle, teats
EHV-3 equine coital exanthema
herps
Horse presents with fever, thrombocytopenia, icterus, edema w. reoccuring episodes
Equine Infectious Anemia Virus
Retroviridae; lentivirus
Carried by stallions, repiratory/repro disease, fever depression, lacriamtion, spread via macrophages, abortions
EAV- equine arteritis virus
Arteriviridae
FMD like lesions, but this is a horse soo oyu think its>
VSV
severe systemic dz and pulmonary and cardiac forms high mortality
African horse sickness
Reoviridae; orbivirus
Neurologic signs, generalized ill, to encephalitis, neg RNA
West Nile Virus
Flaviviridae
Neurologic Disease pos RNA
EEE, VEE, WEE
pos RNA to ddx from WN
Togaviridae
