Our objective was to determine whether equine herpesviruses 1 (EHV-1) viral nucleic acids could be detected immediately after foaling from nasal and vaginal swabs, whole blood, and placental tissue of healthy mares.
Nasal and vaginal swabs, EDTA blood, and placental tissue (296 samples) were collected from 74 clinically healthy postpartum broodmares within 24 h after giving birth to live, clinically healthy foals. All samples were tested (PCR) for nucleic acids of neuropathogenic and non-neuropathogenic strains of EHV-1, and all were negative.
As EHV-1 was not detected in the immediate postpartum period in healthy mares with uncomplicated foaling, we inferred that EHV-1-positive samples from aborting mares and/or EHV-1 detection in fetal membranes indicate EHV-1-associated abortion.
我们的目的是确定在健康母马分娩后立即从鼻腔和阴道拭子、全血和胎盘组织中是否可以检测到马疱疹病毒 1(EHV-1)病毒核酸。
在分娩后 24 小时内,从 74 头临床健康的产后母马中采集了鼻腔和阴道拭子、EDTA 血液和胎盘组织(296 个样本)。所有样本均进行了神经致病性和非神经致病性 EHV-1 毒株的核酸检测(PCR),均为阴性。
由于在没有复杂分娩的健康母马的产后即刻期未检测到 EHV-1,我们推断来自流产母马的 EHV-1 阳性样本和/或在胎膜中检测到 EHV-1 表明与 EHV-1 相关的流产。
