Equine herpesviruses (EHV) are a major health concern for domestic and wild equids and represent one of the most economically important disease agents of horses. Most known EHVs are transmitted directly between individuals as a result of direct exposure to exudates and aerosols. However, accumulating evidence suggests that environmental transmission may play a role including air, water, and fomites. Here, we reviewed studies on environmental stability and transmission of EHVs, which may influence viral dynamics and the use of environmental samples for monitoring EHV shedding.
马疱疹病毒（EHV）是家养和野生马科动物的主要健康问题，也是马匹最重要的经济疾病病原体之一。大多数已知的马疱疹病毒是由于直接接触渗出物和气溶胶而在个体之间直接传播的。然而，越来越多的证据表明，环境传播可能起作用，包括空气、水和污染物。在这里，我们综述了关于马疱疹病毒环境稳定性和传播的研究，这些研究可能影响病毒动态以及利用环境样本监测马疱疹病毒的脱落情况。
