Abstract
Equine Herpesvirus has been identified to exist as EHV-1, EHV-3 and EHV-4 which are all members of the subfamily Alphaherpesvirane. EHV-2 and EHV-5 are members of subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae (Crabb and Studdert, 1993). EHV-2 is the most common viral cause of abortion in mares. In India, the association of EHV-1 with nervous disease (Shankar and Yadav, 1986) and respiratory disease (Uppal et al., 1991) in equines have been documented. The following study was undertaken to assess the seroprevalence of Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) in horses, donkeys and mules in some parts of Tamil Nadu.
