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. Virus classification involves naming and placing Viruses into a taxonomic system A DNA virus is a Virus that has DNA as its Genetic material and replicates using a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase. The Herpesviridae are a large family of DNA viruses that cause diseases in animals including humans Rhadinoviruses are a genus of Herpesviruses that include the Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8 also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV which causes A virus (from the Latin virus meaning Toxin or Poison) is a sub-microscopic infectious agent that is unable The Herpesviridae are a large family of DNA viruses that cause diseases in animals including humans However, complete sequencing of the EHV-2 genome has demonstrated that it is a member of the subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae, in the genus Rhadinovirus . [1] . 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. The horse ( Equus caballus) is a hoofed ( Ungulate) Mammal, one of eight living species of the family Equidae. Conjunctivitis (commonly called " Pink Eye " or " Red Eye " in North America and " Madras eye " in India) is an inflammation The paired submandibular glands (or submaxillary glands) are Salivary glands located beneath the floor of the mouth For the toad wart see Parotoid gland. The parotid gland is the largest of the Salivary glands It is found wrapped around the Mandibular ramus A Lymph node ( lɪmf noʊd is an organ consisting of many types of cells and is a part of the Lymphatic system.
