Bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in cattle; costing the dairy and beef industries millions of dollars annually, despite the use of vaccines and antibiotics. BRDC is caused by one or more of several viruses (bovine respiratory syncytial virus, bovine herpes type 1 also known as infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, and bovine viral diarrhea ...

Microneutralization tests for detection of antibody in bovine serum to three bovine viruses are described. The Madin-Darby bovine kidney cell line was used with parainfluenza 3 virus (PI 3), whereas serially cultivated bovine embryonic kidney cells were used for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and bovine virus diarrhea virus. Comparison of micro-hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) with mic...

The species named Alloiococcus otitis by Aguirre and Collins (1, 2) should be renamed Aloiococcus otitidis. Rule 12c of the Bacteriological Code (3) states that a specific epithet must be treated as an adjective, as a substantive in apposition in the nominative case, or as a substantive in the genitive case. "A. otitis" would belong to the second category ("otitis," the nominative case, meaning...

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is worldwide disease affecting both domesticated and wild ruminants However, it has a significant economic impact on animal industry. Bovine herpes virus 1 (BoHV-1) can infect different organs of an animal. The current work aims to investigate the prevalence BoHV-l in cattle Mosul city, Iraq. In this study, 184 animals 6 months – 2 years old, were sampled...

Prevalence of IBR in breeding bulls of Assam was 15.68%. Bulls between the age group of 3-4 years were having the highest prevalence (9.80%) and lowest (1.96%) above 4 years of age. Breed wise, the prevalence rate was highest in Holstein Friesian (9.80%) and lowest in Jersey Cross breed (1.96%).

The authors describe a serological survey on the prevalence of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) among cattle and buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in three southern states of India. A local isolate of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) from an outbreak of the respiratory form of IBR was used as a source of virus antigen in avidin-biotin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The overall prevalence...

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-Infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IBR/IPV) virus was isolated and identified from a herd of cattle and buffaloes, suffering from respiratory and genital disorders during May 2007. These animals were located at Giza Governorate with a total number of 350, (200 in open farms and 150 in closed farms). Vaginal, nasal and ocular swabs were collected (136 samples w...

AIM The present study aimed to investigate the seroepidemiology of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) infection in the non-vaccinated cattle population in northern part of Tamil Nadu, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 255 sera samples were collected from cattle having the history of respiratory and reproductive disorder from cattle of different age, breeds, and sex.
