- Parvovirus Infection TreatmentIn recent years, a novel equine virus, Equine Parvovirus-Hepatitis (EqPV-H) has been implicated as causing Equine Serum Hepatitis, formerly referred to as Theiler’s Disease. This virus is implicated to cause disease only in equines. It has been associated with administration of biologic products of equine serum origin, but also from unknown sources. Currently this virus has not been isolated or laboratory grown, and only can be detected by a qPCR test, which only measures the presence of genetic material, not live virus.
- Laboratory ServicesUSDA/APHIS/CVB, our federal regulatory agency, has currently mandated that all serials of products of equine serum origin, and all donor animals, be tested for absence of EqPV-H genetic material by the Cornell University Diagnostic Laboratory qPCR test prior to release for marketing. Products that are not to be used in horses still need to have donor animals tested.
