Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) seroprevalence in the breeding cattle population of the veneto region: prospects for the implementation of a control programme

Abstract: The results of a serological survey for bovine herpes virus (BHV1) antibodies in the breeding cattle population of the Veneto region are presented. The data do not support the hypothesis of an high prevalence of BHV1; on farms where vaccination was not carried out most animals were seronegative, and seropositive animals were generally older. Therefore, when drawing up the guidelines for a control programme, systematic immunization (with glycoprotein E-deleted vaccines) should be restricted only to farms with a… Show more

“…The ELISA used cannot distinguish between sAb induced by the conventional vaccine and those raised against the field virus such that the seroprevalences obtained are higher than true infection values (Nardelli et al, 1999). Thus, an animal found seropositive for BHV-1 may have been vaccinated or naturally infected at some point, since the virus remains latent throughout its lifetime and may be reactivated by factors causing stress or immunosuppression (calving, corticosteroids, overcrowding, transport, other illnesses, etc.)…”

“…Given the significantly larger sizes of the dairy herds, it was therefore more likely that an individual animal would be positive for the virus (McDermott et al, 1997;Nardelli et al, 1999). Additionally, the larger dairy herds were subjected to more extensive vaccination programmes, which lead to overreporting of seroprevalence figures since the ELISA used in both studies fails to discriminate between the vaccine and field virus (Nardelli et al, 1999).…”

“…Finally, most researchers agree with the result than bigger herd size is an important risk factor for infection with BHV1 (Mazzucchelli, 1995;McGowan and Murray, 1998;Nardelli et al, 1999;Solis-Calderon et al, 2003;Boelaert et al, 2005).…”
