The virus causing equine coital exanthema (equine herpesvirus 3) was isolated from a lesion on the nostril of a 2-month-old foal. One week after the mare had returned from a stallion station, vesicular lesions developed on her vulva. They were diagnosed clinically as coital exanthema, and 5 days later a lesion developed on the nostril of her foal. This case is an example of horse-to-horse transmission of coital exanthema virus without coitus. A laboratory diagnosis is necessary to differentiate viruses that cause vesicular lesions about the oral and nasal cavities of horses.
从一匹2月龄小马驹鼻孔处的损伤部位分离出了引起马交媾疹的病毒（马疱疹病毒3型）。母马从种马场返回一周后，其外阴部出现水疱性损伤。临床诊断为交媾疹，5天后其马驹的鼻孔处出现损伤。该病例是马交媾疹病毒在无交配情况下马与马之间传播的一个实例。有必要进行实验室诊断以鉴别引起马口腔和鼻腔水疱性损伤的病毒。
