Abstract
The pathogenicities of RacL11 and Kentucky D strains of equine herpesvirus 1 in the
hamster infection model are different from those of Ab4p and the Japanese isolates. Virus
genome restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and sequence comparison of an
intergenic region, glycoproteins and tegument genes showed higher conservation but with
some strain-specific differences. These results indicate that point nucleotide differences in
RacL11 and Kentucky D might be responsible for their pathogenicity in rodent models.
