Molecular investigation of Bovine Herpesvirus Type 1 from aborted small ruminant fetuses

Bacillus anthracis isolated from aborted bovine fetuses

Ruminant alphaherpesviruses related to bovine herpesvirus 1.

Herpesviruses have mainly co-evolved with their hosts for millions of years. Consequently, different related host species may have been infected by various genetically related herpesviruses. Illustrating this concept, several ruminant alphaherpesviruses have been shown to form a cluster of viruses closely related to bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1): namely bovine herpesvirus 5, bubaline herpesviru...

Hobi-like pestivirus in aborted bovine fetuses.

An outbreak of abortion affecting multiparous cows was associated with Hobi-like pestivirus infection. Viral RNA and antigens were detected in the tissues of two aborted fetuses. Molecular assays for other common abortogenic agents tested negative. At the genetic level, the Hobi-like pestivirus displayed the closest relatedness to Italian, Australian, and South American viruses, whereas it dive...

molecular and pathological study of bovine aborted fetuses and placenta from neospora caninum infected dairy cattle

background: the objective of the study was to evaluate the presence of neospora caninum organisms in the brain of aborted fetuses and placentas of full-term calves born of seropositive cows. methods: during 2006-2007, 12 brains of aborted calves from neospora seropositive cattle and 7 pla­centas from seropositive dams giving birth to full-term calves, from four dairy cattle farms located around...
