Distribution of Lesions and Bovine Herpesvirus Type 1 Antigens in Central Nervous System of Cattle Affected by Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis

Bovine herpesvirus 1 infection and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis.

Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), classified as an alphaherpesvirus, is a major pathogen of cattle. Primary infection is accompanied by various clinical manifestations such as infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, abortion, infectious pustular vulvovaginitis, and systemic infection in neonates. When animals survive, a life-long latent infection is established in nervous sensory ganglia. Several react...

Seroepidemological Survey for Antibodies against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis and Bovine Herpes 4 Viruses among Cattle in Different Provinces of Iran.

Detection of Bovine Herpesvirus 1 from an Outbreak of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis

Clinical symptoms from the respiratory tract were observed in cattle after the introduction of pregnant heifers into the dairy herd. Sera and nasal swabs from all animals and tissue samples from two dead animals were tested for BHV1. Specific antibodies against BHV1 were found in serum samples of 24 animals. Only one sample reacted doubtfully in gB ELISA. The virus was isolated only from nasal ...

Detection of antibody against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis glycoprotein gE in aborted cattle in Mashhad, Iran

Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis is a highly contagious disease caused by the bovine herpes virus-1 (BoHV-1), resulting in significant losses to livestock around the world. BoHV-1 is a major pathogen of cattle, primarily associated with respiratory/genital tract infections and abortion. In the present study, we determined the presence of antibodies in 120 serum samples of cattle with the histo...
