Characteristics of live bovine herpesvirus-1 vaccines.
The common disease caused by bovine herpes virus 1 infection is febrile rhinotracheitis (FRT) and under certain conditions the virus is strongly implicated in pre-disposing cattle to pneumonic pasteurellosis. These illnesses account for a significant economic loss in the cattle industry worldwide and vaccination is widely applied. In naive cattle, and for a short period of time, old and new vaccines significantly reduce clinical signs of FRT and also virus shedding. A single intranasal vaccination affords significant protection in face of maternally derived antibodies, and the protection can be significantly prolonged by a booster intramuscular vaccination. Current data recommend vaccination in face of an outbreak and vaccines appear safe for pregnant cattle.
