Virus isolation by inoculating tissue suspensions into MDBK cells revealed characteristic CPE for EHV after the fourth passage within 7 days from inoculation in the form of aggregation of the cells together, rounding, and finally cell detachment. Serological confirmation of the isolated sample by FAT revealed intracytoplasmic greenish yellow fluorescence.
