Abstract Equine rhinitis A virus (ERAV), a picornavirus closely related to foot-and-mouth disease virus, causes respiratory infections in horses. We performed a HEK293T CRISPRi screen and identified integrin α2β1 as a protein receptor for ERAV. Using knock-out cells and pretreating cells with an antibody or soluble receptor, we confirmed the importance of this integrin for infection of multiple cell types, including equine fibroblasts.
