“…Moreover, herpesvirus DNA in swallowed nasal exudate may endure the gut passage and therefore could be detectable in feces. Transmission by feces is speculated to occur through scent marking, which is frequent in wild and domestic equids and typically includes sniffing of feces or urine from conspecifics [ 28 ]. Furthermore, coprophagy may occur in young or starved equids [ 29 , 30 ], thus feces may be a potential source of infection.…”

Environmental Detection and Potential Transmission of Equine Herpesviruses

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.
