“…In 1979, it was isolated from kids in a herd in the Bregaglia valley of Switzerland [75]. Distribution of CpHV-1 infection has not been systematically studied in goats but the virus has been identified in several countries in Europe including Greece, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, as well as in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA [19,47,52,63,67,75,84,96,105,109]. The apparent prevalences are variable.…”

“…The apparent prevalences are variable. In many countries where goats play an economical role, a high seroprevalence is observed: between 30 and 40% in southern Italy and more than 50% in Greece [49,67,119]. CpHV-1 infection has not been identified in Belgium, France (Keuser and Thiry, unpublished results) or the United Kingdom.…”

Ruminant alphaherpesviruses related to bovine herpesvirus 1

-Herpesviruses have mainly co-evolved with their hosts for millions of years. Consequently, different related host species may have been infected by various genetically related herpesviruses. Illustrating this concept, several ruminant alphaherpesviruses have been shown to form a cluster of viruses closely related to bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1): namely bovine herpesvirus 5, bubaline herpesvirus 1, caprine herpesvirus 1, cervid herpesviruses 1 and 2 and elk herpesvirus 1. These viruses share common antigenic properties and the serological relationships between them can be considered as a threat to BoHV-1 eradication programmes. BoHV-1 is a herpesvirus responsible for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, which is a disease of major economic concern. In this article, the genetic properties of these ruminant alphaherpesviruses are reviewed on a comparative basis and the issue of interspecific recombination is assessed. The pathogenesis of these infections is described with emphasis on the host range and crossing of the host species barrier. Indeed, the non bovine ruminant species susceptible to these ruminant alphaherpesviruses may be potential BoHV-1 reservoirs. The differential diagnosis of these related infections is also discussed. In addition, available epidemiological data are used to assess the potential of cross-infection in ruminant populations. A better knowledge of these ruminant alphaherpesvirus infections is essential to successfully control infectious bovine rhinotracheitis.

“…Recovered animals become latently infected and the virus is detected in the sacral ganglia (Camero et al, 2010;Tempesta et al, 1999b). Spreading of the infection and seroconversion in a flock usually follow virus reactivation in infected animals during the mating season (Koptopoulos et al, 1988;Papanastasopoulou et al, 1990) and the use of natural mating is considered as a risk factor (Silva et al, 2013). Indeed, virus reactivation has been observed and reported only in coincidence with estrus in animals with low specific antibody titers (Tempesta et al, 1998).…”

“…Infection of goats with caprine herpesvirus type 1 (CpHV-1) has been reported from several countries all over the world but in Europe only in the Mediterranean Bassin (Koptopoulos et al 1988, Keuser et al 2004, Thiry et al 2008 and Switzerland (Plebani et al 1983). CpHV-1 is considered an important cause of abortions and neonatal mortality in goats as well as infectious pustular vulvovaginitis in females and balCorrespondence to: M.

Investigation into herd-level seroprevalence of caprine herpesvirus type 1 (CpHV-1) and bluetongue virus (BTV) was conducted in 2007 in Poland. It involved the entire population of goats covered by a milk recording program in 2007, which included 49 goat herds. The number of goats examined in each herd was determined statistically in order to detect the presence of at least one seropositive animal in a herd with a 95% probability and simple random method of sampling was applied. No antibodies to CpHV-1 or BTV were detected. Further calculations were carried out to determine the herd-level true seroprevalence, taking into account sensitivity and specificity of the test as well as several other factors. It can be concluded that till the middle of 2007 population of Polish goats covered by the milk recording program remained negative with respect to CpHV-1 and BTV.
