Viruses reported in bovine semen include those of foot and mouth disease, bluetongue, bovine leukemia, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, bovine viral diarrhea, ephemeral fever, and lumpyskin disease. Bovine enteroviruses, a parapoxvirus (paravaccinia), and several uncharacterized viruses have also been isolated. Their presence in semen has been recognized by a variety of animal inoculation and cell culture techniques. The prevalence of viruses in semen and the attendant impact on fertility is largely unknown. The widespread distribution of frozen semen, an ideal system for preserving viral infectivity, indicates this product could serve as an important vehicle for transmission of viruses to uninfected herds or areas. This concern has placed restrictions on international movement of semen. Improved methods for detecting viruses in semen are necessary to assess the importance of the problem and to develop realistic precautionary measures.
在牛精液中发现的病毒包括口蹄疫病毒、蓝舌病病毒、牛白血病病毒、传染性牛鼻气管炎病毒、牛病毒性腹泻病毒、短暂热病毒和疙瘩皮肤病病毒。牛肠道病毒、一种副痘病毒（副牛痘）以及几种未鉴定的病毒也已被分离出来。通过各种动物接种和细胞培养技术已确认它们存在于精液中。精液中病毒的流行情况及其对生育能力的影响在很大程度上尚不清楚。冷冻精液分布广泛，是保存病毒感染力的理想系统，这表明该产品可能成为病毒传播至未感染畜群或地区的重要载体。这一担忧对精液的国际运输施加了限制。需要改进检测精液中病毒的方法，以评估该问题的重要性并制定切实可行的预防措施。
