Description

Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) is a virus of the family Herpesviridae that causes several diseases worldwide in cattle, including rhinotracheitis, vaginitis, balanoposthitis, abortion, conjunctivitis, and enteritis. BHV-1 is also a contributing factor in shipping fever. It is spread through sexual contact, artificial insemination, and aerosol transmission. Like other herpesviruses, BHV-1 causes a lifelong latent infection and shedding of the virus. The sciatic nerve and trigeminal nerve are the sites of latency. There is a vaccine available which reduces the severity and incidence of disease. The respiratory disease caused by BHV-1 is commonly known as infectious bovine rhinotracheitis. Symptoms include fever, discharge from the nose, cough, difficulty breathing, and loss of appetite. Ulcers commonly occur in the mouth and nose. Mortality may reach 10 percent. The genital disease causes infectious pustular vulvovaginitis in cows and infectious balanoposthitis in bulls. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
