Oronasal infection represents the classic route of disease transmission. Venereal shedding of EHV-1 is not regarded relevant in terms of virus spreading, which is in contrast to the close relatives of EHV-1, bovine and suid alphaherpesvirus, for which artificial insemination is a well-documented and accepted means of virus spread.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Documentation of venereal EHV-1 shedding in 3 naturally infected stallions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Animals<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three stallions were infected during an acute outbreak by an EHV-1 strain with the G2254\/D752 Pol genotype.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this observational study, 12 semen samples from these 3 stallions were tested for EHV-1 to determine venereal shedding. EHV-1 was diagnosed by conventional PCR and paired serum neutralization tests in 42 horses. Semen samples were separated into sperm and seminal plasma fractions and tested for EHV-1 by conventional and quantitative PCR as well as virus isolation by cell culture.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Acute EHV-1 infection was diagnosed on the premise.
