BHV-1 infections in Styria (Austria) caused by intra-community trade.
The present paper describes the prevalence of BHV-1 (bovine herpes virus 1) infections in the Austrian province of Styria from 1990 to 1997 and the corresponding eradication programme. Based on the description of BHV-1 infections on seven holdings caused by intra-Community trade, the additional guarantees granted under Directive 64/432/EEC (CEC, 1964) are discussed and measures for improved protection of BHV-1-free regions suggested.
