In the summer of 2011, EQUUS Magazine presented “Understanding EHV-1: Knowledge Is Contagious,” an informational webinar in response to a widespread outbreak of the disease. 

During the webinar, EQUUS magazine’s medical editor, Joe Bertone, DVM, MS, DACVIM, fielded questions from participants regarding the latest outbreak of EHV-1 as well as providing expert perspective on the virus.
