We report the isolation of Equid herpesvirus 8 from a rescued donkey that suffered severe postcastration complications. Despite intensive treatment, the donkey deteriorated and was euthanized. Postmortem virologic analysis revealed the isolation of a herpesvirus that is closely related to herpesviruses reported from donkeys and horses in Australia, China, and Ireland, causing respiratory disease in donkeys and abortion in mares. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this equid herpesvirus in Israel. The potential significance of this herpesvirus to the equid population in Israel needs further investigation.
我们从一只患有严重去势后并发症的获救驴身上分离到马疱疹病毒 8 型。尽管进行了密集治疗，这头驴的病情还是恶化了，并被实施了安乐死。尸检病毒学分析显示，分离到的一种疱疹病毒与在澳大利亚、中国和爱尔兰的驴和马中报告的疱疹病毒密切相关，导致驴发生呼吸道疾病和母马流产。据我们所知，这是该种马疱疹病毒在以色列的首次报告。该疱疹病毒对以色列马属动物种群的潜在意义需要进一步调查。
