Researchers at the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment have explored a novel approach to monitor equine herpesviruses through airborne testing.
The findings, published in the Equine Veterinary Journal, indicate that air sampling could significantly enhance disease monitoring at major equestrian events.
This method may offer a promising avenue for improving biosecurity and protecting horse populations during large gatherings.
