Description

Viral agents were isolated from nasal swabs of 7 of 10 foals with pneumonitis and febricula. They were identified as equine herpesvirus type 2 (EHV-2) by comparison of antigenicity in the agar gel immunodiffusion test. However, little increase was confirmed in antibody titer against EHV-2 in only 2 foals. The reason for it should be that the foals had limited ability to produce antibody due to young age.
