NEUROLOGICAL SYNDROME DUE TO EQUINE HERPES VIRUS
Equine herpes virus is a worldwide known disease that affects horses of all breeds, sex or age. Its most common form is equine herpes virus-1 (EHV-1), which causes great economic impact as it is a major cause of abortions, perinatal mortality in foals, and respiratory and neurological syndromes2,9,8. The neurological disorders caused by equine herpes virus-1 (EHV-1) are called equine herpes virus-1-associated myeloencephalopathy (EHM) and are considered an emerging contagious syndrome10. There are many challenges encountered when treating the disease, which can Diagnosis, prevention and treatment stand out as the main ones. Therefore, the objective of this work is to summarize the topic of myeloencephalopathy caused by VEH-1 in horses and highlight the main challenges encountered in relation to this disease.
