| Description |
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IBR/IPV), caused by bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), is a disease of domestic and wild cattle. It can manifest in different ways depending on the area it is transmitted to. In all cases the animal shows non-specific clinical signs including fever, depression, inappetence, abortion and milk drop. Along with this if the virus infects the respiratory tract predominantly it manifests as a mucopurulent discharge, reddening of the muzzle and conjunctivitis. If transmitted to the genital tract it results in either pustular vulvovaginitis or inflammation of the glans penis and prepuce. |
