title: Virologic study of the reproductive tract in dairy cows.
abstract: From Aug 1, 1979 to Aug 15, 1980, a total of 624 samples were collected from the vaginas, cervices, and uteri of 208 dairy cows 30 to 37 days after parturition. An additional 90 samples were collected from the reproductive tracts from 30 of the 208 cows. The 30 cows had aborted or were repeat breeders. Samples from cows that had aborted were collected within a week after clinical abortion or immediately after rectal palpation revealed subclinical abortion. All samples were tested for the presence of cytopathogenic viruses. All samples were negative.
