Serological evidence for the presence of A/equine-1 influenza virus in unvaccinated horses in Croatia

In total, 243 equine serum samples collected at the beginning of 1994 were tested by HI for antibodies to several strains of equine influenza virus. HI antibody titres of 1:32 or greater to subtype A/equine-1 influenza virus were detected in 53, 9 per cent of tested serum samples, whereas the same level of HI antibodies to A/equine- 2/Zagreb/88 and A/equine-2/Zagreb/6 was detected in only 12, 6 and 4n5 per cent of tested samples, respectively. These results concur with the opinion about persistent circulation of equine H7N7 subtype among equine population.
