Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) causes a variety of disease syndromes including, respiratory, nervous and reproductive disorders both in domestic as well as wild bovines and the disease is prevalent throughout the world including India. In this study, serum samples of yaks were screened for serological evidence of BoHV-1 in a yak farm with history of abortion and kerato-conjuctivitis by competition-ELISA. The result of seroprevalence of BoHV-1 infections in yaks (Poephagus grunniens) revealed that the overall seroprevalence was 60.1%. The sero-prevalence of BoHV-1 infections was highest in male calf (67.7%) followed by yak cows (62.6%), yak bulls (56.8%), and yak heifers (50.0%).
牛疱疹病毒1型(BoHV-1)可引发多种疾病综合征,包括家养和野生牛类的呼吸道、神经及生殖系统紊乱,且该病在包括印度在内的全球各地都很普遍。在本研究中,通过竞争ELISA法,对一个有流产和角膜结膜炎病史的牦牛养殖场的牦牛血清样本进行筛查,以寻找BoHV-1的血清学证据。牦牛(牦牛属)中BoHV-1感染的血清阳性率结果显示,总体血清阳性率为60.1%。BoHV-1感染的血清阳性率在雄性犊牛中最高(67.7%),其次是牦牛母牛(62.6%)、牦牛公牛(56.8%)和牦牛小母牛(50.0%)。
