This viral disease of cattle is also known as '''IPV''' and is caused by [[Bovine Herpesvirus 1]]. Transmission of the disease is venereal and so the disease is now uncommon in cattle due to the constant use of artificial insemination (A.I.). The disease causes impaired reproductive performance and painful genital lesions on both cows and bulls.

Genital lesions and a pustular vaginitis as the name suggests. In the male, lesions will be seen on the prepuce and sheath of the penis and in females there will be a pustular inflammatory process in the vagina, along with painful lesions here. In both sexes, frequent micturition is a common clinical sign.
