Its extremely contagious nature, latency and subclinical features can result in outbreaks and significant economic losses. Transmission occurs primarily through mating activities; therefore, robust biosecurity measures are crucial in breeding facilities. This study aims to determine the clinical prevalence of ECE among horses in a covering station in T\u00fcrkiye from 2021 to 2024. It also aims to assess the efficacy of routine PCR implementation within ECE's control strategies. A cross\u2010sectional study design has been employed. Genital swab samples were collected from clinically suspected horses, which were tested for EHV\u20103 using real\u2010time PCR. Animal records, clinical examination data and PCR test results were obtained from horses at the covering station between 2021 and 2024. During the 4\u2009years (2021\u20132024), 9231 mating activities were carried out, and a total of 228 clinically suspected horses were tested for EHV\u20103 using real\u2010time PCR. Among these 228 horses, 6 horses (2.6%) were confirmed positive for EHV\u20103. The primary weakness of this study is the failure to detect subclinical cases with PCR. The absence of follow\u2010up PCR testing in two clinically infected horses represents a limitation of this study. The molecular diagnosis of ECE was reported for the first time in T\u00fcrkiye. Clinical ECE cases infrequently transpired over the four\u2010year period at the covering station. No outbreak transpired during this interval. PCR testing plays a crucial role in disease control when implemented with suitable management methods. Additional global epidemiological investigations on ECE are required.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/rda.70086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,9]],"date-time":"2025-06-09T07:19:23Z","timestamp":1749453563000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical Prevalence of Equine Coital Exanthema in a Thoroughbred Covering Station in T\u00fcrkiye (2021\u20132024)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8616-7068","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunus Emre","family":"Atay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Erciyes University  Kayseri T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gencay","family":"Ekinci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine Erciyes University  Kayseri T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali Erdem","family":"\u00d6zt\u00fcrk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Reproduction and Artificial Insemination Erciyes University  Kayseri T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mustafa Cem","family":"Timur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Equine Health and Veterinary Services, Head Office Jockey Club of T\u00fcrkiye  \u0130stanbul T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alper","family":"Mete","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jockey Club of T\u00fcrkiye \u0130stanbul Equine Hospital  \u0130stanbul T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K\u00f6ksal","family":"Alt\u0131nbay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Equine Health and Veterinary Services, Head Office Jockey Club of T\u00fcrkiye  \u0130stanbul T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fatih Mehmet","family":"Derelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jockey Club of T\u00fcrkiye Izmit Central Covering Station  Kocaeli T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ya\u015far","family":"Akar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Erciyes University  Kayseri T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0130hsan","family":"Kele\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine Erciyes University  Kayseri T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","first-page":"139","article-title":"Atlar\u0131n Herpesvirus Tip 3 EHV3 Enfeksiyonu Atlar\u0131n \u00c7iftle\u015fme Egzantemi","volume":"2","author":"Ataseven V.
