This disease is also known as '''IBR''' and is caused by [[Bovine Herpesvirus 1]] (BHV-1) through aerosol transmission and close contact of infected animals. It is a highly infectious disease of cattle, causing upper respiratory tract disease. The virus is a [[:Category:Herpesviridae|herpesvirus]], meaning it has the ability to lie latent for a long period of time until reactivated by stress.

Depending on severity, one will see serous, catarrhal or purulent nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing, dyspnoea and anorexia. There will be a rhinotracheitis that can develop into [[bronchopneumonia]]. An increased respiratory rate will also be present. Pregnant cows will also be seen to abort at 5 months or later in gestation.

Also known as IBR Caused by:Bovine Herpesvirus 1

aerosol transfer

Pathogenesis

  • BHV-1 infects the respiratory mucosal epithelial cells (intranuclear inclusion eosinophilic inclusion bodies)from nasal mucosa down to bronchioles
    • Leading to neutrophilic inflammation of varying severity: serous -> catarrhal -> purulent nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing
  • Dypsnoea, anorexia
  • Rhinotracheitis that can develop into bronchopneumonia
  • Clinical signs include coughing, discharge, lacrimation, and increased respiratory rate
  • Clinical disease most severe in young calves - can develop mucosal ulcerative lesions in the oesophagus and forestomachs and viraemia with multiorgan infection
  • Generally high morbidity, low mortality, but up to 75% mortality if concurrent with BVDV, caused by meningo-encephalitis

Diagnosis

  • Virus isolation and immunofluorescence

Control

  • Vaccination:
    • Two live attenuated vaccines are available in the UK, one is temperature-sensitive
      • Both given intranasally
      • Neither protect against re-infection when given during clinical outbreak, but can lessen the severity of the disease
    • Inactivated vaccines: intranasal/intramuscular administration
      • gE deletion makes this a marker vaccine
      • ELISA for gE deletion can enable culling of carrier animals
  • IPV has mostly been made obsolete by AI

  • URT infection with serous nasal discharge, increases respiratory rate, coughing and moderate fever,from nasal mucosa down to bronchioles
  • Rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchiolitis
  • Morbidity is high, mortality is low
  • Highly infectious URT disease of cattle
  • Spread by movement of animals, aerosol transmission - requires close contact between animals
  • Early stages (only first few days) may show intracellular inclusions in the respiratory mucosal epithelial cells
  • Leading to neutrophilic inflammation of varying severity.... serous -> catarrhal -> purulent
  • With secondary bacterial infection (eg: Pasturella spp., Mycoplasma spp., Fusobacterium necrophorum) can lead to fibrinous to necrotizing inflammation; mucosal sloughing, ulceration... pyrexia, dyspnoea ... inhalation pneumonia... death
  • Underlying hyperaemic inflammatory response
  • Can become latent following primary infection
  • Clinical signs:nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing, lacrimation, and increased respiratory rate
  • Clinical disease most severe in young calves - can develop mucosal ulcerative lesions in the oesophagus and forestomachs and viraemia with multiorgan infection
  • Cause of abortion >5 months of gestation
  • May contribute to Enzootic pneumonia of calves

May cause cutaneous skin infections.



Caused by herpes virus 1 in cows. Results in abortion late in gestation 3-6 weeks after exposure. Abortion occurs soon after foetal death. Foetus may be autolysed. Intranuclear inclusions present in liver.
