title: [Viral agents as the cause of reproductive disorders in cattle and available vaccines].
abstract: After a review on the viral agents playing a role in diseases of cattle those related to the occurrence in the genital tract are described. They may be causing abortion or local reactions leading to a reduced fertility and/or be of importance for the embryo transfer. Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV1) and the bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVDV) are the agents most widely distributed in Europe. Both are of economic importance, described in detail and vaccines available discussed.
