Neurological and non-neurological EHV-1
The citation for the DNA mutation thought to cause the neurological disease (citation #8) is from 2014. I would the original publication of the DNA mutation finding, but highly stress that this has not correlated with what is seen in recent outbreaks (non-neurological causing neurological symptoms such as EHM; we have seen a rise in EHM cases in the past 2 decades).

Latency in EHV-1
The latency aspect of EHV-1 is important to note for a few reasons. It is part of the herpesvirus family in which these are all known to go into a state of latency. Another reason for discussing latency in regards to treatment of EHV-1 is to make the point that many horses are undetectable when infected (latent or not) and the latency increases this issue of the virus being undetectable until reactivation in which unexposed horses have become exposed to the virus. I would stress these reasons to tie into the main points of the virus being highly contagious and hard to detect. The main reason we are discussing EHV-1 is due to no effective vaccines to date which can serve as a reminder when determining what main points you want to address in each section.
