Transmission of IBR/IPV virus in bovine semen: A case report.
The transmission of IBR/IPV virus in imported semen is reported. Some of the inseminated animals showed seroconversion and, in accordance with Swiss law, had to be eliminated. To avoid such cases in international sperm exchange, methods of detecting IBR/IPV virus need to be improved. In the longer term, AI centres must be established in which all bovine stock is seronegative for IBR/IPV.
