Sera from 1133 Turkish horses were obtained and tested for equid herpesvirus 3 (EHV-3) antibodies using a sero-neutralisation test. The sample consisted of 420 privately owned working horses from 2 regions of Turkey, 428 brood horses from private stud farms and breeding stations, and 285 racehorses from private stud farms. Neutralising antibodies against EHV-3 were found in 287 (25.3%) of the 1133 analysed sera. The highest seroprevalence for EHV-3 was detected in the brood horses (51.2%), followed by the racehorses (10.2%), and the working horses (9.3%). The seroprevalence rates tended to be higher in female horses than in male horses …

The aim of this study was to find polymorphisms in the actin alpha 1 gene (ACTA1) in horses belonging to different breeds and utility types and to compare them. The genomic region of the actin alpha 1 gene was positively selected in purebred horses. By sequencing part of the ACTA1 gene, 2 polymorphic sites located in intron 5 (G > T) and intron 6 (G > C) were found. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and the amplification created restriction site-polymerase chain reaction methods were applied to screen these polymorphisms. An analysis of the genotype and allele frequencies showed differences depending …
