Key result
Equine arteritis virus produces seven replicative-form RNAs containing negative-stranded copies of mRNAs, indicating their function as transcription templates during subgenomic mRNA production.

No immediate clinical implications for arteriviral disease; leaves open mechanistic studies of subgenomic transcription in related viruses.
The study identifies the mechanism of subgenomic mRNA synthesis in equine arteritis virus, showing that replicative-form RNAs serve as transcription templates.
Boon et al. (1996) studied Equine arteritis virus (EAV) infection. Equine arteritis virus (EAV) infection in cells was evaluated on Analysis of leader-body junctions and replicative-form RNAs. Equine arteritis virus produces seven replicative-form RNAs containing negative-stranded copies of mRNAs, indicating their function as transcription templates during subgenomic mRNA production.
