•Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) glycoprotein C (gC) has haemagglutination (HA) activity for equine red blood cells (RBCs).•The HA activity was inhibited by addition of MAbs against gC, but not inhibited by addition of heparin.•This is the first report of a heparin-insensitive HA activity associat...
