    Author: COllinson PN, O'Rielly JL, Ficorilli N, Studdert MJ.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1994 Jul 15; 205(2):329-31. PubMed ID: 7928614.
    Abstract:
    Ocular problems characterized by conjunctivitis, epiphora, and keratopathy were detected in 35 of 80 Thoroughbred weanling foals that also had respiratory disease. Ocular problems were determined to be caused by infection with equine herpesvirus type 2 (EHV-2) and were successfully treated with ophthalmic medication containing idoxuridine. Equine herpesvirus type 2 isolated from 3 of 5 foals from which samples were collected. The identity of the causative virus as EHV-2 was confirmed by use of electron microscopy, restriction endonuclease DNA fingerprinting, and Southern blot analysis.
