| |
| − | The donkey is susceptible to '''EHV 3 infection (coital exanthema)''' and this is usually regarded as a transient venereal infection.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Clinical Signs==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It can affect the penis of the breeding male and the perineal skin and vulva of the jenny. The classical symptoms are an '''acute,
| |
| − | florid inflammatory response''' with '''transient vesicles''' and '''secondary infection''' some days after coitus.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Treatment==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Treatment is limited to '''topical application of soothing antibacterial creams''' and, if the area is significantly
| |
| − | painful, '''human haemorrhoid creams''' are useful because they contain antibiotic and local anaesthetics.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sexual rest is important because it can spread rapidly, and a rest for up to three weeks will usually allow the stallion to
| |
| − | recover and become noninfectious.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Control==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There does seem to be a '''carrier status in the males''' in which immunity is solid for some years.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Many [[Herpesviridae|Herpes virus]] infections have a latent capacity and so '''recrudescence''' is likely.
