: The experimental EHV-1 infection and all sample collections for this study were carried out in accordance with the recommendations in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the National Institute of Health. The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Cornell University approved the animal protocol (protocol #2011–0011). Since the study was performed in horses the work also followed the Guide for Care and Use of Animals in Agricultural Research and Teaching. All efforts were made to minimize suffering of the animals, for example by sedation of nervous or excited horses before sampling. At the end of this experimental study, all horses were kept at the facility at Cornell University as research horses.
