Equine arteritis virus (EAV) infection occurs throughout much of the world. Serologic surveys of horse populations indicate that exposure is common but clinical signs are uncommon so many infections are subclinical or inapparent. However the virus can cause acute "flu'-like" illness in horses including swelling of the legs. Most importantly EVA can induce abortion in mares after the 3rd month of pregnancy, death in foals, and persistentle infect the reproductive tract of stallions. The recent surge of shipped semen has many wondering if we are on the verge of a remarkable outbreak of abortion storms. Theories have been developed and tested as to why this disease happens episodically. This article discusses these issues, clinical signs, treatment and prognosis of this disease.
