Equine arteritis virus (EAV) is the causative agent of equine viral arteritis (EVA), a respiratory and reproductive disease of equids, which is notifiable in some countries including the Great Britain (GB) and to the OIE. Herein, we present the case of a persistently infected stallion and the phylogenetic tracing of the virus strain isolated. Discussing EAV occurrence and phylogenetic analysis we review features, which may aid to harmonise and enhance the classification of EAV.
马动脉炎病毒(EAV)是马病毒性动脉炎(EVA)的病原体,EVA是马属动物的一种呼吸道和生殖系统疾病,在包括英国(GB)在内的一些国家属于应通报疾病,需向世界动物卫生组织(OIE)通报。在此,我们介绍了一匹持续感染的种公马的病例以及分离出的病毒株的系统发育追踪情况。在讨论EAV的发生情况和系统发育分析时,我们回顾了一些特征,这些特征可能有助于统一和完善EAV的分类。
