Abstract:

Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is one of the most important infectious viruses of cattle which is considered as the causative agent of several clinical conditions in this species. Hence, we tried to isolate a local strain of the virus from carrier cattle in Ahvaz based on a strategy for reactivation of the latent infection in hosts having antibodies against the virus. Thus, 20 cattle were examined to identify seropositive animals using virus neutralization test (VNT). Afterward, 4 out of 8 seropositive cattle were selected and experimentally stressed by daily injection of Dexamethasone up to five days. Following the injection of Dexamethasone, nasal swabs were collected during 10 days and applied for virus isolation in cell culture. The results showed that one of the stress-induced animals shed the virus on days 8, 9 and 10 after injection of Dexamethasone. Identification of the reactivated virus was carried out based on the virus-induced cytopathic effects in cell culture and PCR and the results were confirmed by sequencing of the PCR product. Isolation of such a local strain of the virus can improve our understanding about circulating BoHV-1 strains in the country.

Neutralizing antibodies to bovine herpesvirus types 1 (BoHV-1) and 5 (BoHV-5) and its subtypes.

This study was carried out to determine whether the sensitivity of serum neutralization (SN) tests would be affected by the use of distinct subtypes of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) and 5 (BoHV-5) as test challenge viruses. Bovine sera collected from a randomized sample (n=287) were tested in a 24h incubation SN against three type 1 viruses (BoHV-1.1 strains "Los Angeles" (LA) and "EVI 123"; Bo...

isolation and characterization of bohv-1 from cattle in west bengal, india

isolation of bohv-1 was attempted from nasal swabs as well as aborted foetuses and vaginal swabs in madin darby bovine kidney (mdbk) cell line to find out the prevalent strain in the state of west bengal, india. the virus was isolated from only one case out of 65 nasal swabs whereas no virus was isolated from aborted foetuses and vaginal swabs. the isolate was typed as bohv-1.2 (strain india 3).

Persistence and reactivation of bovine herpesvirus 1 in the tonsils of latently infected calves.

Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1), like other members of the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily, establishes latent infection in sensory neurons. Reactivation from latency can occur after natural or corticosteroid-induced stress culminating in recurrent disease and/or virus transmission to uninfected animals. Our previous results concluded that CD4(+) T cells in the tonsil and other adjacent lymph nodes a...

Genetic Profiles of Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Strains Isolated from Cattle in Poland

The purpose of the study was to determine subtypes of BHV1 strains isolated from cattle in Poland. In total five different strains of BHV1 were isolated during the last years. All isolates as well as four archival and two reference BHV1 strains were analysed by PCR and restriction enzyme analysis. Specificity of the strains was confirmed by PCR with primers complementary to the nucleotide seque...

Bovine Herpesvirus-1 in Khouzestan province in Iran: seroprevalence and risk factors

Bovine herpesvirus type-1 (BoHV-1) is a DNA virus that is classified in the family Herpesviridae, subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae and genus Varicellovirus. This virus causes the respiratory disease, abortion, conjunctivitis, infectious pustular vulvovaginitis or balanoposthitis and other clinical forms of the complex diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence and ri...
