Abortifacient property of bovine herpesvirus type 1 isolates that represent three subtypes determined by restriction endonuclease analysis of viral DNA

Abstract excerpt

Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) isolates are classified into 3 subtypes by use of restriction endonuclease analysis. Isolates from aborted fetuses have been either subtype 1 or 2a, whereas subtype 2b viruses have not been associated with abortion. We assessed the abortifacient property of isolates representing each of the 3 BHV-1 subtypes by IV inoculation of heifers with the virus 25 to 27 weeks after...
