What was accomplished under these goals? We have explored the association of equine herpesvirus 2 and 5 with one particular form of equine recurrent uveitis (ERU). This particular form is called heterochromic iridocyclitis (HIK) and mimics cytomegalovirus endotheliitis in man. We tested eyes of normal horses for the presence of EHV 2 and 5 in order to help determine the significance of detecting EHV 2 and 5 in clinical cases of HIK. Neither EHV 2 or 5 were detected within the eyes of any normal horses despite the presence of the virus in the nasal passageways, serum, and conjuntiva of several horses.
