Abstract

Introduction: Loss of pregnancy in mares is a major cause of economic and emotional impact for horse breeders. It can have many different infectious and noninfectious causes. The aim of this study was identification of the main viral causes of abortion in mares in Poland based on tissue samples from 180 aborted foetuses submitted for testing between 1999 and 2022.

Material and methods: Tissues of aborted foetuses collected from different horse studs throughout Poland were tested for the presence of equine herpesvirus types 1 and 4 (EHV-1/-4) and if negative, for equine arteritis virus (EAV). The examination was performed using a PCR/reverse transcriptase PCR (1999-2012) and a quantitative PCR (2013-2022).

Results: The cause of abortion was determined to be EHV-1 in 49.4% of cases (n = 89), whereas no EHV-4- or EAV-positive cases were found. The proportion of abortions due to EHV-1 differed between regions, with the highest percentage in the Lubelskie and Wielkopolskie provinces.

Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that EHV-1 is the most important viral infectious agent causing abortions in mares in Poland.

关于 1999 年至 2022 年波兰马病毒性流产的回顾性研究。

导言：母马失孕是影响马饲养者经济和情绪的一个主要原因。流产有多种不同的感染和非感染原因。本研究的目的是根据 1999 年至 2022 年间送检的 180 个流产胎儿的组织样本，确定导致波兰母马流产的主要病毒原因：对从波兰各地马场采集的流产胎儿组织进行马疱疹病毒 1 型和 4 型（EHV-1/-4）检测，如果检测结果为阴性，则检测马动脉炎病毒（EAV）。检测采用 PCR/反转录酶 PCR（1999-2012 年）和定量 PCR（2013-2022 年）：结果：49.4%的流产病例（n = 89）的病因被确定为 EHV-1，而未发现 EHV-4 或 EAV 阳性病例。EHV-1导致的流产比例因地区而异，卢布林省和大波兰省的比例最高：研究结果表明，EHV-1 是导致波兰母马流产的最重要病毒传染源。
