SEROLOGICAL MONITORING OF HORSE HERPES VIRUS

Equine herpesviruses of the 1st and 4th types (VHF-1 and VHF-4) are among the most detected among the livestock of horses in the world, dangerous and leading to significant economic losses, along with viral arteritis and equine influenza. On the territory of Kyrgyzstan, after the beginning of periodic waves of mass spontaneous abortions, antibodies to VGL-1 and VGL-4 were found among pregnant mares in 2010 (Akhmedzhanov M.A.). The first VGL-1 isolate was isolated from pathological materials of an aborted fetus from the Issyk-Kul region in February 2014 (Akhmedzhanov M.A.). From 2008 to the present, massive outbreaks of spontaneous abortions among foal mares have been periodically occurring in the regions of our Republic. Basically, among the horse population of our Republic, the infection takes place in an abortive form. However, there have also been cases with a nervous form, which subsequently leads not only to abortion, but also to partial or complete nervous paralysis. In such a severe case, the disease leads horses to death. The aim of the study was to monitor and study the degree of distribution of VGL-1 and VGL-4 among horses in the northern region of the Republic
