@Ina, this is the virus that I was tracking:I have recalled that information incorrectly. I can’t find any indication at all in the scientific literature of AHS in North America.
Replication of Equine arteritis virus is efficiently suppressed by purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis inhibitors - Scientific Reports

RNA viruses are responsible for a large variety of animal infections. Equine Arteritis Virus (EAV) is a positive single-stranded RNA virus member of the family Arteriviridae from the order Nidoviraleslike the Coronaviridae. EAV causes respiratory and reproductive diseases in equids. Although two vaccines are available, the vaccination coverage of the equine population is largely insufficient to prevent new EAV outbreaks around the world. In this study, we present a high-throughput in vitro assay suitable for testing candidate antiviral molecules on equine dermal cells infected by EAV. Using this assay, we identified three molecules that impair EAV infection in equine cells
