Is Equine Rhintis Virus Associated with Inflamatory Airway Disease in Horses?
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerWe conducted research at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine investigating equine rhinitis virus (ERV) as the cause of IAD exacerbations in horses. To identify patients with IAD, histamine bronchoprovocation and cytological analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was used to quantify airway hyperreactivity and inflammation. The prevalence of ERV and other equine respiratory viruses was determined via the RT-PCR of lung fluid samples and serology of blood samples. We hope this will be a step forward in equine pulmonology.
