“…Relatively poor information concerning the ability of the related alphaherpesviruses to cross the host species barrier and establish infection in heterologous animal species is available. However, there is experimental evidence that BHV-1 can produce a primary infection in goats (11,28,37), and CapHV-1 may infect cattle without any demonstrable latency (11). In addition, RanHV-1 may infect cattle and produce mild rhinitis (25), and CerHV-1 has been associated with abortive infections in calves (29).…”

The glycoprotein B (gB) and D (gD) genes from five ruminant alphaherpesviruses, bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1), bovine herpesvirus 5 (BHV-5), caprine herpesvirus 1 (CapHV-1), cervine herpesvirus 1, and rangiferine herpesvirus 1, were partially sequenced. The nucleotide sequence alignments revealed a highly conserved gB gene, with homologies ranging between 87.2 and 99.6%, and a more variable gD gene, with homologies ranging between 71.3 and 98.9%. The phylogenetic analysis of the gB and gD nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences revealed that BHV-5 is the most closely related virus to the BHV-1 subtype 1 and BHV-1 subtype 2 cluster and that CapHV-1 is the most distantly related virus. The phylogenetic data showed a close relationship of all the studied viruses with suid herpesvirus 1. On the basis of sequence data for the gB gene, a nested PCR combined with restriction enzyme analysis (REA) of the PCR products was developed for the simultaneous detection and identification of the viruses that were studied. Nested primers from highly conserved sequence stretches were selected in order to amplify a region of 294 bp in all five viruses, and a subsequent REA of the PCR products allowed specific identification. A mimic molecule that served as an internal standard of the amplification efficiency was constructed. The practical diagnostic applicability of the assay was evaluated with clinical samples consisting of semen and organ specimens from experimentally infected animals.

“…Tüm dünyada yaygın olduğu düşünülen etken primer olarak sığırları etkilemektedir. Ancak enfeksiyonun diğer ruminant türlerindeki varlığı (12,11,20) ve türler arasında enfeksiyon naklinin mümkün olduğu da bilinmektedir (18). Bu durum, sığırlarda özellikle BHV-1 kontrol ve eradikasyon programlarının başarıyla uygulanabilmesinin önünde bir sorun olarak görülebilir.…”

Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) primer olarak sığırlarda enfeksiyon oluşturmasına karşın diğer gevişgetiren türlerini de etkileyebilmektedir. Bu araştırmada, Türkiye'nin değişik bölgelerinde yetiştirilen koyunlardan toplanan kan serumu örneklerinde BHV-1'e spesifik nötralizan antikorların varlığı ve enfekiyonun yaygınlığı araştırıldı. Virus nötralizasyon testi ile yapılan çalışmada, örneklerin ait olduğu 14 ilden 6'sında ve test edilen toplam 1024 serum örneğinin 25'inde (%2.44) BHV-1'e spesifik nötralizan antikorlar belirlendi. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında, Türkiye'de koyunlardaki BHV-1 enfeksiyonu seroprevalansının düşük düzeyde olduğu belirlendi.

“…BLEBANI et al (1983) reported the reactivation of the latent caprine herpesvirus in two naturally infected Saanen adult goats 2-10 days after the last (6th) dexamethasone injection (2.50mg/kg BW). In contrary, WAFULA et al (1985) used dexamethasone (0.20 mg/kg BW for 5 days) to immunosuppress goats and reactivate the IBR virus, two months after they had been experimentally infected, but without success. ACKERMANN et al (1986) used dexamethasone (2.50mg/kg BW), but also failed to reactivate IBR and BHV-6 from goats that had been infected one month earlier.…”

Summary An experiment was designed for a preliminary investigation of the caprine herpesvirus BHV‐6 latency. The experiment was carried out in two steps. In the first, the virus inoculated six kids and the control, showed a mild infection and excreted the virus for 4—12 days. The second part started about one month after the cease of all symptoms and the virus isolations of the first part. No immunosuppression and therefore no virus reactivation could be achieved after eight daily administered injections of dexamethasone (0.15–0.50mg/kg BW), as it was judged by the hematological, virological, pathological and serological findings.
