The purpose of the work was to determine the percentage of infections with arteritis virus and the analysis of epizootiological state in the stud of horses in the Upper Silesia. In the first period of studies the percentage of mares with specific antibodies was 58.3 per cent and after 6 months it increased by 79 per cent. It was lowest in young mares aged 3—4 years. The SN titres against EAV ranged between 4—512. In most cases they fluctuated between 32—256. The titre in one stallion was 128—256 while in another one no antibodies were found at all. Sera of mares without antibodies at day of mating showed the presence of the antibodies after three weeks following mating by a stallion serologically positive; that was not observed in case of mating by a stallion serologically negative. The findings indicated that in the horses under study equine arteritis virus was transmitted through the genital system during mating and the stallion’s semen was the source of infection.
