  14:10 - 14:50 Equine Herpes Myeloencephalopathy
  Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) is an economically important equine pathogen, exerting its major impact by causing respiratory disease in young horses, abortion storms and sporadic abortions in mare and, feared most, neurological disease in horses (Equine Herpes Myelopathy – EHM). EHM usually occurs in the form of outbreaks but is also encountered as isolated individual cases. Clinical signs, confirmation of diagnosis, management, treatment and prognosis will be discussed supported by video clips of clinical cases.
  
  15:30 - 16:10 Equine Influenza
  Equine influenza is a in Western Europe rarely fatal respiratory disease of horses as vaccination is practised in most countries. Incidentally outbreaks, often related to non-vaccinated populations, may occur in vaccinated populations, and as vaccinated horses show in most cases only mild clinical signs the infection may spread unnoticed. Outbreaks, clinical signs, diagnostics, therapy and prognosis will be discussed.
