1. highly contagious bacterial infection carried by the stallion
2. causes acute endometritis → interrupts fertility
3. self-limiting infection

Equine viral arteritis:

2. spread?
3. effect on reproduction

1. fever, respiratory problems, eye inflammation, edema in the legs & underbelly of mares, edema in the testes of stallions
2. direct contact through semen

2. abortion (single or abortion storms) → weeks or months from infection to abortion
3. fatal neonatal illness

equine herpes 4 (2)

1. may cause sporadic abortion (no "storms")
2. signs are similar to equine herpes 1
