A Mutation in the Latency-Related Gene of Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Leads to Impaired Ocular Shedding in Acutely Infected Calves
15 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) is an important pathogen of cattle, and infection is usually initiated in the ocular or nasal cavity. Like other alphaherpesviruses, BHV-1 establishes latency in sensory neurons but has the potential of reactivating from latency and spreading. The only abundant viral transcript expressed during latency is the latency-related (LR) RNA, which is alternatively spliced in trigeminal...
