Interspecies trasmission of equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV‐1) from horse to cattle was shown by Crandell et al. (1988). Specific mutations related to the transmission were studied by comparison of five EHV‐1 isolates in cattle (BH1247, 3M20‐3, G118, G1753, and 9BSV4) using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis with added sequencing. G118 and 3M20–3 were the genome type EHV‐1 P, while G1753 was the genome type EHV‐1 B. BH1247 and 9BSV4 might be other genome types. We could not identify specific mutations related to the interspecies transmission.
