* Bovine herpesvirus - 1 (Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus) contributes to [[Intestines - Catarrhal Enteritis#Undifferentiated Neonatal Calf Diarrhoea|undifferentiated neonatal calf diarrhoea]], a mixed viral enteritis in calves; and [[Nasal cavity - inflammatory#Rhinitis|rhinitis]]
 
===Bovine herpesvirus -1===
 
*Causes '''Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR)'''
 
*Highly infectious URT disease of cattle
 
*High morbidity, low mortality
 
*Aerosol transmission - requires close contact between animals
 
*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.
 
**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.
 
*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.
 
*Cause of abortion >5 months of gestation
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
*Feline viral rhinotracheitis in [[Nasal cavity - inflammatory#Rhinitis|rhinitis]]
