Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on detecting equine respiratory viruses and bacteria in horses at a winter equestrian show by collecting environmental sponge samples from the stalls over multiple weeks.
- - Out of the collected samples, 35.13% tested positive for at least one of the selected pathogens, with equine herpesvirus-2 being the most commonly found.
