"Equine herpesvirus 2" (EHV-2) is a virus of the family "Herpesviridae", originally known as "equine cytomegalovirus" due to its slow replication in tissue culture. However, complete sequencing of the EHV-2 genome has demonstrated that it is a member of the subfamily "Gammaherpesvirinae", in the genus "Rhadinovirus" .cite journal|author=Telford EA, Watson MS, Aird HC, Perry J & Davison AJ.|title=The DNA sequence of equine herpesvirus 2] . It has an uncertain role in respiratory disease in horses, but EHV-2 has been isolated from cases exhibiting symptoms such as coughing, conjunctivitis, and swollen submaxillary and parotid lymph nodes.cite book|author=Fenner, Frank J.; Gibbs, E.
