    Snippet: Discussion, Conclusions and Significance: EqHV is capable of infecting distinct hosts within the genus equus. In the two donkeys studied, the course of infection was similar to the infection pattern observed in horses. Objects: PON-1 is a negative acute phase protein already used in human and veterinary medicine and mainly produced in the liver. Recently, a paraoxon-based method for the measurement of PON-1 in horses has been validated and refere.....
    Document: Discussion, Conclusions and Significance: EqHV is capable of infecting distinct hosts within the genus equus. In the two donkeys studied, the course of infection was similar to the infection pattern observed in horses. Objects: PON-1 is a negative acute phase protein already used in human and veterinary medicine and mainly produced in the liver. Recently, a paraoxon-based method for the measurement of PON-1 in horses has been validated and references intervals (RIs) in healthy horses and foals have been established (38.1-80.8 U/mL). In other species, PON-1 activity is low in newborns. No information on PON-1 activity in newborn foals, which are often affected by inflammatory conditions, is available. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate PON-1 activity in newborn healthy foals and to verify age related variations.
