Examination of six field isolates of equine herpesvirus 3, the causative agent of equine coital exanthema, indicates that all were temperature sensitive (ts) at the body temperature, 39 degrees C, of their host (Equine asinus and callabus) when grown in cell culture. The isolates were characterized by fingerprint analysis with the restriction endonucleases XbaI, EcoRI, BamHI and Hind III to establish possible epidemiologic relatedness. Three of the six isolates may be considered related. Variation in the mobility of the BamHI-A and Hind III-K fragments indicates that a small plaque isolate may contain a 5.7 kb insert of DNA in the unique short region of the genome.
对马交媾疹病原体马疱疹病毒3的六个野外分离株进行检测表明，当在细胞培养物中生长时，所有分离株在其宿主（驴和非洲野驴）的体温39℃下均为温度敏感型（ts）。用限制性内切酶XbaI、EcoRI、BamHI和Hind III进行指纹分析，对分离株进行特征鉴定，以确定可能的流行病学相关性。六个分离株中的三个可被认为具有相关性。BamHI-A和Hind III-K片段迁移率的变化表明，一个小斑块分离株可能在基因组的独特短区域含有一个5.7 kb的DNA插入片段。
