THE Animal Health Trust (AHT) has begun developing a new vaccination against equine herpes. The equine herpes virus (EHV) can lead to a number of serious problems, including respiratory disease, neurological problems in adult horses and abortion or fatal illness in new-born foals.
The virus can lie dormant in horses for years and can be transmitted directly and indirectly. The virus can also transmitted over short distances in the air.
