  • Title: The occurrence of equine arteritis virus in Australia.
    Author: Huntington PJ, Forman AJ, Ellis PM.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 1990 Dec; 67(12):432-5. PubMed ID: 1963772.
    Abstract:
    This paper reports the first isolation of equine arteritis virus (EAV) in Australia and serological evidence of exposure to EAV in Australian horses. Twelve Standardbred stallions imported from North America were found to shed EAV in semen. One hundred and seven stallions were tested for serum antibodies to EAV and 73% of Standardbred stallions tested were seropositive as compared to 8% of Thoroughbred stallions. Serum antibody was detected in 71% of Standardbred mares, 6% of Standardbred racehorses and 1% of Thoroughbred mares and racehorses. Examination of stored serums demonstrated that EAV had been present in Australia since at least 1975.
