Abstract
This study describes the changes observed in the placentas of mice experimentally infected with an abortigenic strain of EHV-1 at mid-pregnancy and euthanized at days 3 and 4 post-infection. We analyzed microscopic vascular alterations, cell proliferation and death by immunohistochemistry, and the expression of IFN-γ, TNF-α and the IL-10 by qPCR and flow cytometry. Infected mice showed slight respiratory signs and ruffled fur during the first two days post-infection. Virus isolation and DNA detection were positive only in the lungs of the infected mice. Vascular congestion, increase in the labyrinth area, and a significant reduction in fetal capillary endothelium surface of infected placentas were found. Cell proliferation was significantly reduced in the infected placentas, whereas the apoptosis was significantly increased. IL10, TNF and IFN-γ showed different expression in the infected placentas and uteri. The effects of EHV-1 during pregnancy depend on different pathogenic mechanisms in which vascular alterations, and cell death and proliferation and local cytokine changes are compromised.

Abstract
Equid herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) is one of the most economically important equine viral pathogens. Its clinical manifestations in horses vary from acute upper respiratory tract disease, abortion, or neonatal death, to neurological disease termed equine herpesviral myeloencephalopathy, which may lead to paralysis and a fatal outcome. Successful identification of EHV-1 infection in horses depends on a variety of factors such as suitable case selection with emphasis on timing of sample collection, selection of appropriate sample(s) based on the clinical manifestations, application of relevant diagnostic technique(s) and/or test(s), and careful evaluation and interpretation of laboratory results. Several traditional serologic and virus isolation assays have been described; however, these assays have inherent limitations that prevent rapid and reliable detection of EHV-1. The advent of molecular biologic techniques has revolutionized the diagnosis of infectious diseases in humans and animal species. Specifically, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays have allowed detection of nucleic acid in clinical specimens precisely and rapidly as compared to the traditional methods that detect the agent or antigen, or agent-specific antibodies in serum. The new molecular methods, especially real-time PCR, can be a very useful means of EHV-1 detection and identification. Veterinarians involved in equine practice must be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of various real-time PCR assays, interpretation of viral genetic marker(s), and latency in order to provide the best standard of care for their equine patients.

Abstract
Pregnant rats were infected experimentally with equine herpesvirus (EHV)-9, a new neurotropic equine herpesvirus serologically similar to EHV-1, during the first and third trimesters. The inoculated dams had mild to severe neurological signs and gave birth to dead fetuses or undersized pups. Rats inoculated during the first and last trimesters had varying degrees of encephalitis as well as abnormalities of the placentas in the form of marked dilation of maternal blood sinusoids and varying degrees of atrophy and necrosis of the trophoblast cells of the labyrinth, the spongiotrophoblasts and the giant cell layer. Virus antigen was detected by immunohistochemistry in the brain and the trophoblast cells of labyrinth, the spongiotrophoblasts and giant cell layer of the placenta in rats inoculated during the first trimester. Virus antigen was detected in fetuses from rats inoculated in the first and last trimesters. Virus DNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction from the placenta and fetuses of inoculated rats. EHV-9 may induce fetal death and abortion in pregnant dams, possibly caused by direct EHV-9 infection of the placenta and/or fetus as well as the secondary effect of vascular injury.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus (BoHV) type 1.1 (BoHV-1.1) causes repeated outbreaks of upper respiratory disease and abortion in cattle. The systemic effects of BoHV-1.1 in rabbits, using intranasal inoculation are reported. Female rabbits were divided into four groups and inoculated with the virus 10 days before mating, and at 15 or 22 days of pregnancy. Studies of the clinical signs, antibody production, virus isolation, and DNA detection as well as histological and immunohistochemical studies were carried out on lungs, kidneys, spleen, placentas, uteri and foetal tissues. All virus-inoculated animals developed respiratory clinical signs and a humoral response. BoHV-1.1 was isolated from nasal swabs and plasma rich in leukocytes, and viral DNA was detected in blood, dead foetuses and placentas. Histopathological lesions were found in the respiratory tract and some placentas and foetuses were immunohistochemically positive. Intranasal inoculation might be useful to study the systemic effects of BoHV-1.1 infection in the rabbit model.

Abstract
The pathogenicity of equine herpesvirus (EHV)-9, a new neurotropic equine herpesvirus isolated from gazelles, was assessed in pregnant rodents (mice and hamsters) following intranasal inoculation. The pregnant female mice and hamsters were inoculated with EHV-9 in the early or late trimesters. The inoculated animals exhibited mild to severe neurological signs and gave birth to dead or undersized fetuses. All three mice and four hamsters inoculated in the first trimester had varying degrees of placental abnormality, characterized by markedly dilated maternal blood sinusoids, atrophy of the trophoblast cells and necrosis of the middle layer of the trophoblast. There was also endometrial blood vessel congestion and necrosis and disorganization of the fetal capillaries in the mice and hamsters inoculated in the last trimester. EHV-9 antigen was detected in the brain of dams and the lungs of the fetuses and in the middle of the trophoblast layer of the placenta in hamsters inoculated in the first trimester. The placental lesions were milder in mice than in the hamsters. The mice and hamsters inoculated in the last trimester had more prominent lesions than the animals inoculated in the first trimester. These results suggest that EHV-9 can cause the death of the fetus or abortion and that these events may be secondary to placental vascular compromise.

Abstract
Equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) is an alphaherpesvirus which infects horses, causing respiratory and neurological disease and abortion in pregnant mares. Latency is established in trigeminal ganglia and lymphocytes. Immunity to EHV-1 lasts between 3 and 6 months. Current vaccines, many of which contain inactivated virus, have reduced the incidence of abortion storms in pregnant mares but individual animals, which may be of high commercial value, remain susceptible to infection. The development of effective vaccines which stimulate both humoral and cellular immune responses remains a priority. Utilising data generated following experimental and field infections of the target species, this review describes the immunopathogenesis of EHV-1 and the interaction between the horse's immune system and this virus, both in vivo and in vitro, and identifies immune responses, highlighting those which have been associated with protective immunity. It then goes on to recount a brief history of vaccination, outlines factors likely to influence the outcome of vaccine administration and describes the immune response stimulated by a selection of commercial and experimental vaccines. Finally, based on the available data, a rational strategy designed to stimulate protective immune responses by vaccination is outlined.

Abstract
Formalin-fixed, paraffin wax-embedded fetal membranes from 76 cases of equine abortion were examined immunohistochemically for equine herpesvirus (EHV)-1 antigen. Of the 76 cases, 11 had been proved EHV-1-positive by diagnostic methods applied to the aborted fetuses (viral isolation in tissue culture, or immunohistochemical examination, or both). Of the 11 fetal membranes from the virus-positive animals, five gave positive results on immunohistochemical examination, and three on in-situ hybridization; the positive signals were detected in trophoblastic cells and occasionally in monocytes and endothelial cells. The distribution of virus appeared to be related to areas of (1) vacuolar degeneration and desquamation of chorionic epithelium, (2) mild lympho-histiocytic vasculitis and placentitis, and (3) increased metabolic activity of mesenchymal cells in the villi of the fetal membranes. This is the first report of EHV-1 antigen and nucleic acid detection in the trophoblasts of fetal membranes from spontaneous cases of equine abortion.

Abstract
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY EHV-1 and EHV-4 abortion diagnosis is based upon detailed examination of the aborted fetus. However, in some cases, only the placenta is available for examination. Furthermore, the contribution of lesions in the placenta to pathogenesis and diagnosis of EHV-1 and EHV-4 abortion has been neglected. OBJECTIVES To assess the utility of placental examination in equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) and EHV-4 abortion diagnosis. METHODS Sections of allantochorion from 49 herpesvirus abortions were analysed by PCR, in situ hybridisation and immunostaining. RESULTS Virus-specific nested PCR confirmed the presence of viral DNA in 46 cases; 41 cases were EHV-1-positive and 5 EHV-4-positive. Microscopic changes were nonspecific. Examination of the PCR-positive sections of allantochorion revealed EHV-1 DNA by in situ hybridisation (ISH) in 21 cases and EHV-4 in 4 cases. In 2 samples, DNA of both viruses was present on PCR and ISH. Viral antigen was found by immunohistology in 15 cases. Regarding the localisation of virus in the placentae, both viral DNA and antigen of EHV-1 and EHV-4 were found in endothelial cells of chorionic villi and, occasionally, in trophoblast epithelium. In the stromal endothelium, only EHV-1 was found. CONCLUSIONS The data indicate that examination of placentae is a useful diagnostic aid in EHV-1 and EHV-4 abortion diagnosis. POTENTIAL RELEVANCE Virological examination of the placenta should become standard practice in equine abortion investigations, particularly in those cases where the fetus is not available for examination.

Abstract
Intracerebral inoculation of field-isolates as well as established strains of equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) in suckling mice results in viral replication in neurons and glial cells and induces encephalitis. By intraperitoneal (i.p.) inoculation, no histological lesion was observed in the central nervous system (CNS) in suckling mice with the EHV-1 HH1 strain (HH1), whereas a neuroadapted variant (NHH1) produced by serial passage of HH1 in the mouse brain caused severe encephalomyelitis after i.p. inoculation. The purpose of this study was to determine the route of neuroinvasion after i.p. inoculation of NHH1 and to clarify the effects of the brain passage on viral neuroinvasion. NHH1, but not HH1, targeted splenic and pulmonary macrophages and omental fat cells on days 1 and 2 post-inoculation (p.i.). From days 1 to 3 p.i., cell-associated viremia was occurred in NHH1-infected mice, but not in HH1-infected mice. On day 4 p.i., viral antigen was detected in a few endothelial cells, perivascular glial cells and neurons in the CNS in NHH1-infected mice. The number of viral antigen-positive cells increased markedly after day 5 p.i. In contrast, no viral antigen-positive cell was detected in the CNS in HH1-infected mice, except for a few nerve cells in the thoracic cord on day 4 p.i. These results suggest that NHH1 neuroinvasion is hematogenous and is correlated with enhanced extraneural virus growth.

Abstract
Little is known about the neuropathogenicity of equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) in mice. No neurological signs were observed in 6-day-old mice inoculated intracerebrally with the HH1 strain (HH1) of EHV-1. However,6-day-old mice inoculated intracerebrally with a variant derived by serial passage of HH1 in mouse brain showed severe neurological symptoms and eventually died. Histological analyses were performed on 6-day-old mice inoculated with the neuroadapted HH1 (NHH1) and the parental HH1 strain by the intracerebral, intranasal or intraperitoneal route. All routes of inoculation with NHH1 caused encephalitis, but myelitis was observed only in mice inoculated intraperitoneally. Prominent histological findings were perivascular cuffing sometimes associated with small fibrin thrombi, neuronal and glial degeneration and necrosis, and intranuclear inclusion bodies in neurons, glial cells and ependymal cells. Intracerebral and intranasal inoculation, but not intraperitoneal inoculation, with HH1 induced central nervous system (CNS) lesions that were milder than those in mice inoculated with NHH1. The distribution of viral antigen was more widespread in mice inoculated with NHH1 than with HH1. No viral antigen was detected in the CNS of mice inoculated intraperitoneally with HH1. These results indicate that increased viral multiplication and spreading in the CNS were responsible for the enhanced neurovirulence of NHH1. Although EHV-1 has been considered to be primarily endotheliotropic in horses, both NHH1 and HH1 showed tropism for the parenchymal cells of the CNS in mice, namely neurons, glial cells and ependymal cells.

Abstract
The polymerase chain reaction and DNA in-situ hybridization were used to study sections of uterine tissue collected from mares near the time of abortion due to equid herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) infection. These techniques revealed viral nucleic acids in endothelial cells of endometrial arterioles, in accordance with previously published immunohistological data. In addition, however, they revealed nucleic acids in cellular debris within endometrial glands and diffusing across the placenta at sites of microcotyledonary infarction. Perivascular leucocytes were generally negative for viral DNA, despite marked perivascular cuffing. These data provided further support for the central role of the vascular endothelial cell in the pathogenesis of EHV-1 abortion and demonstrated direct transplacental spread of nucleic acids at sites of microcotyledonary infarction and across the endometrial glands in the vicinity of vascular lesions.
