Equine Arteritis Virus (EAV) Outbreak in a Show Stallion Population

(1) Background: Equine arteritis virus (EAV) infection causes reproductive losses and systemic vasculitis in susceptible <i>equidae</i>. The intact male becomes the virus’ reservoir upon EAV infection, as it causes a chronic-persistent infection of the accessory sex glands. Infected seme...
