Caused by:[[Bovine Herpesvirus 1]]

: aerosol transfer

====Pathogenesis====
+
This disease is also known as IBR&nbsp; and is caused by [[Bovine Herpesvirus 1]] through aerosol transmission and close contct of infected animals. It is a highly infectious disease of cattle, causing upper respiratory tract disease. The virus is a herpesvirus, meaning it has the ability to lie latent for a long period of time until reactivated by stress.

*BHV-1 infects the respiratory mucosal epithelial cells (intranuclear inclusion eosinophilic inclusion bodies)from nasal mucosa down to bronchioles
+
BHV-1 infects the respiratory mucosal epithelial cells (intranuclear inclusion eosinophilic inclusion bodies)from nasal mucosa down to bronchioles, which leads to neutrophilic inflammation of varying severity.<br>
**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 [[Bovine Virus Diarrhoea Virus|BVDV]], caused by meningo-encephalitis

== Clinical Signs<br> ==
*'''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

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.<br>

Clinical disease most severe in young calves, which can develop mucosal ulcerative lesions in the oesophagus and forestomachs and viraemia with multiorgan infection.&nbsp;

*URT infection with serous nasal discharge, increases respiratory rate, coughing and moderate fever,from nasal mucosa down to bronchioles
+
There is generally a high morbidity with low mortality, but up to 75% mortality if concurrent with [[Bovine Virus Diarrhoea Virus|BVDV]], caused by meningo-encephalitis. Signs can be made more severe by secondary bacterial infection such as Pasturella or Mycoplasma.  
*[[Rhinitis|Rhinitis]], [[Pharyngitis|pharyngitis]], [[Laryngitis|laryngitis]], [[Tracheitis|tracheitis]], [[Bronchitis|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 [[Cellular Inclusions|intracellular inclusions]] in the respiratory mucosal epithelial cells
  −
*Leading to neutrophilic inflammation of varying severity.... serous -> catarrhal -> purulent
  −
*With secondary bacterial infection (eg: ''[[:Category:Pasteurella and Mannheimia species|Pasturella spp.]], [[:Category:Mycoplasmas|Mycoplasma spp.]], [[Fusobacterium necrophorum]])'' can lead to fibrinous to necrotizing inflammation; mucosal sloughing, ulceration... pyrexia, dyspnoea ... [[Aspiration Pneumonia|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 [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Enzootic pneumonia of calves|Enzootic pneumonia of calves]]
     −
May cause cutaneous skin infections.

== Diagnosis ==
    +
Clinical signs are suggestive. Definitive diagnosis can be achieved by virus isolation and immunofluorescence.
   −
<br>Caused by herpes virus 1 in cows. Results in abortion late in gestation 3-6 weeks after exposure.
+
On microscopic examination of infected tissue, one will see intrnuclear inclusion bodies, which are indicative of the virus.<br>
Abortion occurs soon after foetal death.  Foetus may be autolysed.  Intranuclear inclusions present in liver.
