Abstract

Equine coital exanthema ECE , caused by equid herpesvirus type 3 EHV3 , is a contagious venereal disease characterised by the formation of painful papules, vesicles, pustules and ulcers on the penis and prepuce of stallions and on the vaginal and vestibular mucosa, perineal skin and anal region of mares. EHV3 is limited to reproduction practices, including mating activity in mares and stallions, artificial insemination and embryo transfer, despite the lack of systemic infection. This article is embraced the recent data about etiological characterization, epidemiology, transmission, clinical signs, pathogenesis, immunology, diagnostic methods, prevention and control principles of EHV3 infection.

Atların Herpesvirus Tip 3 EHV3 Enfeksiyonu Atların Çiftleşme Egzantemi

Abstract

Atların çiftleşme egzantemi, at herpesvirus tip 3 EHV3 ’ün neden olduğu, aygırların penis ve prepusyumunda, kısrakların vajinal ve vestibüler mukozası, perineal deri ve anal bölgede papüller, veziküller, püstüller ve ülserlerle karakterize bulaşıcı venereal enfeksiyondur. EHV3 enfeksiyonu, sistemik bir hastalıkla sonuçlanmamasına karşın, etkilenen aygır ve kısrakların çiftleşme aktiviteleri, embriyo transferi ve suni tohumlama uygulamalarında önemli kısıtlamalara yol açmaktadır. Bu makale, EHV3 enfeksiyonunun etiyolojik özellikleri, epidemiyolojisi, klinik görünümü, patogenez ve immunolojisi, tanı, korunma ve kontrol metotları hakkındaki güncel bilgileri içermektedir.
