“…This prevalence was lower than those observed in the U.S.A. (10.8-19.4%), Argentina (7.4%), France (24%), and Germany (10.6%) [11,23,24,26,28]. The samples that we analyzed were collected mainly from fetuses aborted in sporadic abortions or from outbreaks of non-neurological EHV-1.…”

ABSTRACT. A single non-synonymous nucleotide substitution of guanine (G) for adenine (A) at position 2254 in the viral DNA polymerase gene (encoded by open reading frame [ORF] 30) of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) has been significantly associated with neuropathogenic potential in strains of this virus. To estimate the prevalence of EHV-1 strains with the neuropathogenic genotype (ORF30 G 2254 ) in the Hidaka district-a major horse breeding area in Japan-we analyzed the ORF30 genomic region in cases of EHV-1 infection in this area during the years 2001-2010. Of the 113 cases analyzed, 3 (2.7%) were induced by ORF30 G 2254 strains. This prevalence is lower than those observed in the U.S

“…The apparent association of G2254/D752 strains, rather than A2254/N752 strains, with neuropathogenic disease has been a particular focus of studies of EHV‐1 pathogenesis in recent years (Fritsche & Borchers, 2011; Pronost et al., 2010; Stasiak, Rola, Ploszay, Socha, & Zmudzinski, 2015; Tsujimura et al., 2011). Sometimes overlooked is the finding in the field that the association of abortion with the EHV‐1 A2254/N752 strain variant was more statistically significant (Nugent et al., 2006).…”

SummaryEquine herpesvirus 1 (EHV‐1) causes respiratory disease, abortion, neonatal death and neurological disease in equines and is endemic in most countries. The viral factors that influence EHV‐1 disease severity are poorly understood, and this has hampered vaccine development. However, the N752D substitution in the viral DNA polymerase catalytic subunit has been shown statistically to be associated with neurological disease. This has given rise to the term “neuropathic strain,” even though strains lacking the polymorphism have been recovered from cases of neurological disease. To broaden understanding of EHV‐1 diversity in the field, 78 EHV‐1 strains isolated over a period of 35 years were sequenced. The great majority of isolates originated from the United Kingdom and included in the collection were low passage isolates from respiratory, abortigenic and neurological outbreaks. Phylogenetic analysis of regions spanning 80% of the genome showed that up to 13 viral clades have been circulating in the United Kingdom and that most of these are continuing to circulate. Abortion isolates grouped into nine clades, and neurological isolates grouped into five. Most neurological isolates had the N752D substitution, whereas most abortion isolates did not, although three of the neurological isolates from linked outbreaks had a different polymorphism. Finally, bioinformatic analysis suggested that recombination has occurred between EHV‐1 clades, between EHV‐1 and equine herpesvirus 4, and between EHV‐1 and equine herpesvirus 8.

“…There are only few reports available in literature on EHM in France (Pronost et al, 2010b;Pronost et al, 2012) and none describe risk factors. Moreover, epidemiological studies are often restricted to a single outbreak, thereby limiting their potential at identifying risk factors unrelated to a specific outbreak.…”
