^*Locus (0.55 kilobase) discriminates EEHV1A from EEHV1B subtypes.

^†Previous EEHV-associated fatalities, within the screened herd, for which gene subtyping analysis is available. Letters denoting viral gene subtypes have been arbitrarily assigned to denote the unique nucleotide sequence of each gene subtype.
