caused by
HERPESVIRUS
characterized by
infectious rhinotracheitis and infectious pustular vulvovaginitis
agent
-agent: BOVINE HERPESVIRUS 1 (BHV-1)
> genus: Varicellovirus
family: Herpesviridae
-DNA virus
3 subtypes
-BHV-1.1: RESPIRATORY subtype
-BHV-1.2: GENITAL subtype
-BHV-1.3: ENCEPHALITIC subtype > reclassified as separate virus = BHV-5
survival at
room temperature for 45 days
HR
-cattle
in humans
NO
all age groups are
susceptible but most clinical cases in :
> more 6 month-olds
colostral immunity
1-6 months
most common
-RESPIRATORY disease
> BHV-1.1
reported
some countries are free : FINLAND-eradicated
in dairy herds M&M
-Morbidity 8-100%
-Mortality 3-10% - often due to secondary bacterial infections
> Beef cattle have higher morbidity & mortality rates
transmission: excretion
-nasal
-ocular and vaginal discharge
-urine
-sperm
transmission: mode
-direct contact:
>venereal transmission,
>with sperm
-fomites:
>feed
>water
-aerogenic: RESPIRATORY form (BHV-1.1)
transmission: route
-respiratory
or
-genital
latent carriers
virus mostly persist in portal of entry
can be isolated in
-trigeminal ganglion
-sometimes also in CNS
latent infections can
-reactivate with or without clinical symptoms
>under conditions of stress
>or by experimental methods
during reactivation virus is
-SHEDDED IS HIGH TITERS= continues for lifetime
> in endemic herds all animals should be treated as potential source of BHV-1
IP
2-6 days
2 forms
-RESPIRATORY form
and
-GENITAL form
clinical signs: RESPIRATORY FORM: INFECTIOUS BOVINE RHINOTRACHEITIS (IBR): clinical signs of upper respiratory tract
-(muco) purulent nasal discharge
