Progesterone Sporadically Induces Reactivation from Latency in Female Calves but Proficiently Stimulates Bovine Herpesvirus 1 Productive Infection
12 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
Steroid hormone fluctuations are predicted to enhance or initiate bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) replication and virus spread in cattle. For example, stress increases the incidence of BoHV-1 reactivation from latency in cattle, and the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone consistently induces reactivation from latency. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and dexamethasone stimulate key viral regulatory promoters...
