“…There is no IBR confirmation test in the plans. The farmers have to pay for the sampling and testing; but a monetary reward is provided if they achieve the annual target seroprevalence (18). These programs do not include aggressive measures such as culling of positive animals or vaccination.…”

The cattle industry is a major driving force for the Italian agricultural sector totalling about 5. 6 million heads for dairy and meat production together. It is particularly developed in the northern part of the country, where 70% of the whole Italian cattle population is reared. The cattle industry development in the rest of the country is hampered by the hard orography of the territories and a variety of socioeconomic features leading to the persistence of the traditional rural farming systems. The differences in the farming systems (industrial vs. traditional) also affect the health status of the farms. Whereas, Enzootic Bovine Leukosis (EBL) is almost eradicated across the whole country, in Southern Italy where Bovine Tuberculosis and Brucellosis are still present and Bluetongue is endemic due to the presence of the competent vector (Culicoides imicola), less investments are aimed at controlling diseases with economic impact or at improving farm biosecurity. On the other hand, with the eradication of these diseases in most part of the country, the need has emerged for reducing the economic burden of non-regulated endemic disease and control programs (CPs) for specific diseases have been implemented at regional level, based on the needs of each territory (for instance common grazing or trading with neighboring countries). This explains the coexistence of different types of programs in force throughout the country. Nowadays in Italy, among cattle diseases with little or no EU regulations only three are regulated by a national CP: Enzootic Bovine Leukosis, Bluetongue and Paratuberculosis, while Bovine Genital Campylobacteriosis and Trichomonosis are nationwide controlled only in breeding bulls. For some of the remaining diseases (Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis, Bovine Viral Diarrhea, Streptococcus agalactiae) specific CPs have been implemented by the regional Authorities, but for most of them a CP does not exist at all. However, there is a growing awareness among farmers and public health authorities that animal diseases have a major impact not only on the farm profitability but also on animal welfare and on the use of antibiotics in livestock. It is probable that in the near future other CPs will be implemented.

“…Currently, in European countries, the DIVA strategy is considered to be one of the first-line interventions in BoHV-1 eradication programs in areas with a high prevalence of the disease [6,9]. In Italy, a national surveillance plan for IBR is only active for autochthonous cattle breeds and recommends the use of marker vaccines to decrease IBR seroprevalence [19]. It is widely known that marker vaccines induce a marked humoral and cell-mediated immune response [11,20]; however, only little information is available regarding passive immunity induced by these vaccines.…”

Different types of vaccines against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) are commercially available. Among these, inactivated glycoprotein E (gE)-deleted marker vaccines are commonly used, but their ability to induce passive immunity is poorly known. Here, we evaluated the passive immunity transferred from dams immunised with commercial inactivated gE-deleted marker vaccines to calves. We vaccinated 12 pregnant cattle devoid of neutralising antibodies against Bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) and divided them into two groups with 6 animals each. Both groups were injected with a different inactivated gE-deleted marker vaccine administrated via intranasal or intramuscular routes. An additional 6 pregnant cattle served as the unvaccinated control group. After calving, the number of animals in each group was increased by the newborn calves. In the dams, the humoral immune response was evaluated before calving and, subsequently, at different times until post-calving day 180 (PCD180). In addition, the antibodies in colostrum, milk, and in serum samples from newborn calves were evaluated at different times until PCD180. The results indicated that inactivated glycoprotein E (gE)-deleted marker vaccines are safe and produce a good humoral immune response in pregnant cattle until calving and PCD180. Moreover, results showed that, in calf serum, passive immunity persists until PCD180.

Este virus se encuentra ampliamente distribuido a nivel mundial, en ciudades como Veracruz-México, Lima-Perú y Salamanca-España, en donde se presentaron prevalencias de 76,32, 67 y 99,92% respectivamente en bovinos (3-5), Afectando el tracto respiratorio y reproductivo de los bovinos, siendo el principal responsable de considerables pérdidas económicas debido a la disminución de la producción de leche, la pérdida de peso, la muerte y los abortos presentes en las diversas producciones (6).…”

Introducción. La Rinotraqueítis Infecciosa Bovina (RIB) es una enfermedad infectocontagiosa que afecta principalmente a bovinos y bufalinos, encontrándose ampliamente distribuida a nivel mundial, siendo una de las principales causas de perdidas económica y físicas en las producciones. Objetivo. determinar la prevalencia de la Rinotraqueítis Infecciosa Bovina (BHV-1) en el municipio de Toca, Boyacá. Materiales y métodos. Se recolectaron 350 muestras de sangre Bovina, las cuales fueron procesadas en el laboratorio de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, mediante un kit comercial de ELISA. Resultados. La prevalencia para IBR, en el municipio de Toca, Boyacá, fue de 65,5%. No se encontró relación significativa con las variables estudiadas como abortos, distocias, no gestantes, repetición de celos, entre otras. Conclusión. La Rinotraqueítis Infecciosa Bovina es una de las principales causas de pérdidas económicas y físicas en las diversas producciones, sin embargo, no siempre es la principal causa de alteraciones reproductivas presentes en los bovinos.
