title: [Serological survey on the prevalence of bovine type-4 herpesvirus infection in cattle in the Accra plains of Ghana].
abstract: Sera from cattle of the Accra Plains in Ghana were screened for bovine type-4 herpesvirus (BHV-4) antibodies by an indirect immunofluorescence test. Among the 176 screened serums, 14% were found positive at a 1/100 dilution. Further studies are necessary for a better understanding of the relationships between BHV-4 or some other agents and necrotic vaginitis associated with poor fertility observed in cattle in this area.
