The influence of long distance transport on various viral infections was investigated serologically by examining 29 young racehorses for infection by respiratory agents including equine herpesvirus, equine adenovirus and equine rhinovirus, as well as coronavirus which has been suggested to be an etiological agent of diarrhea and febrile disease in horses.
