Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV‐1) is a growing concern in the horse industry. This virus can live within horses for a long period of time, perhaps even throughout their entire life, making it a common disease in the population. Up to 90% of horses are infected with EHV‐1 by the time they are 2 years old.
