Equine viral arteritis

Equine viral arteritis (EVA) is a disease of horses caused by an RNA virus of the genus "Arterivirus".

It has been more common in some breeds of horses in the United States, but there is no breed “immunity.” There is no known human hazard.

Arteriviruses are small, enveloped, animal viruses with an icosahedral core containing a positive-sense RNA genome. The family includes Equine arteritis virus (EAV), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), lactate dehydrogenase elevating virus (LDV) of mice and simian haemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV).cite book |chapterurl=http://www.horizonpress.com/avir|author=Balasuriya and Snijder|year=2008|chapter=Arteriviruses|title=Animal Viruses: Molecular Biology|publisher=Caister Academic Press|id= [http://www.horizonpress.com/avir ISBN 978-1-904455-22-6] ]
