Study of infectious activity of the infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus during long-term passage in cell culture

Isolation of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Virus in Cell Culture: (a Case Study)

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis is an important disease of cattle with serious economic implications. The etiology is bovine herpes virus type-1 which leads to clinical to latent infections and abortions. In this study, an aborted bovine fetus was suspected of IBR infection. The virus was grown in cell line (MDBK) and cytopathic effect observed. CPE began at 12 hr post infection of cells and ...

The Isolation and Identification of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Virus in Iran

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 ...

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...

Epidemiology and eradication of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IBR/IPV) virus in Finland

BACKGROUND Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IBR/IPV) is a significant disease among domestic and wild cattle. The BHV-1 infection was first detected in Finland in 1970; presumably it was imported in 1968. The infection reappeared in the large-scale bulk-tank milk surveillances which started in 1990, and was eradicated in 1994. Our aim is to describe the epid...
