The Isolation and Identification of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Virus in Iran

Susceptibility of bovine macrophages to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus infection.

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus replicated in cultured bovine alveolar macrophages (AM). However, yields of infectious virus were low, with maximum titers approximately 100 times that of the residual inoculum. Immunofluorescence and electron microscopic studies indicated that the majority of macrophages produced viral antigen, but after infection at a multiplicity of 0.1, only 4.1% of A...

Nitrogen kinetics of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-stressed calves.

Eight crossbred feeder steers were used in two consecutive N balance studies to investigate the effects of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) on N kinetics. Balance Study 1, which followed a 10-d acclimation phase, consisted of 7 d of sample collection referred to as the healthy phase (d -7 to d -1). Study 2, the IBRV-infected phase, began 2 d after a nasal IBRV challenge and contin...

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis.

Cattle exhibiting the vulvovaginitis form of the IBR complex are sexually mature females that do not appear ill. Signs of IPV include a thick yellow to brown vulvar discharge that attaches to the vulvar tuft of hair. The vulva is swollen and the vulvar and vaginal lining is reddened, dying and/or contains small whitish-colored pustules. The vaginal-vulvar infection causes irritation, exhibited ...
