Abstract

Horse herpesvirus infections are significant from a clinical, financial, and epidemiological standpoint. EHV-1 and EHV-4 are two of the ones that contribute to outbreaks. Blood samples from 138 symptomatic or asymptomatic horses in the Kars region were used in this study to test for EHV-1 and EHV-4. EHV-1 was found in 40 (29%) blood samples, EHV-4 in 49 (35.5%) blood samples, and both agents were recognized in 24 (17.4%) blood samples using the Real-Time PCR method. The findings indicate that the strategic location of the Kars region should be taken into account in the fight against EHV-1 and EHV-4 infections, in addition to care-feeding and climatic conditions.
