  • Title: Coital exanthema in stallions.
    Author: Pascoe RR, Bagust TJ.
    Journal: J Reprod Fertil Suppl; 1975 Oct; (23):147-50. PubMed ID: 173847.
    Abstract:
    Equine coital exanthema can be produced experimentally in stallions by inoculation with an equine herpesvirus (strain 65/61) and be transmitted during coitus with an infected mare. Serological responses to this infection include the production of complement-fixing and serum-neutralizing antibodies which reach maximum levels 14 to 21 days after infection. Complement-fixing antibodies decline rapidly and are usually not detectable by 60 days after infection, whereas serum-neutralizing antibody activity is maintained for at least 1 year. This disparity provides a useful method for the diagnosis of recent infections and estimation of the temporal incidence of infection in groups of mares. It seems likely that clinically normal carrier mares spread the virus on studs where the disease has previously not occurred.
