Two concurrent outbreaks of genital disease in goats were associated with infection by a herpesvirus that was isolated from vulval and vaginal lesions of affected does. Serum neutralising antibody to the virus was present both in goats with the clinical disease and some unaffected goats. Of 19 goat herds examined only 4 had serum neutralising antibody positive goats with low (5%) to high (60%) incidence of infection. The virus isolate was characterised as a herpesvirus on its physico-chemical and morphological features. It contained DNA and was inactivated at low pH and by treatment with lipid solvents and trypsin. The virus particles were icosahedral, consisting of a nucleocapsid surrounded by an envelope membrane and measured approximately 150 nm in diameter. The virus was serologically related to a New Zealand isolate of caprine herpesvirus (NZ-CpHV), associated with similar genital disease, and was distinct from bovine herpes virus-1 (BHV-1) showing a one way neutralisation pattern.
山羊同时发生的两起生殖器疾病暴发与一种疱疹病毒感染有关，该病毒是从患病母羊的外阴和阴道损伤处分离出来的。患有临床疾病的山羊和一些未受影响的山羊体内均存在针对该病毒的血清中和抗体。在检查的19个山羊群中，只有4个群中有血清中和抗体呈阳性的山羊，感染发生率低（5%）至高（60%）不等。根据其理化和形态学特征，该病毒分离株被鉴定为疱疹病毒。它含有DNA，在低pH值条件下以及经脂质溶剂和胰蛋白酶处理后会失活。病毒粒子呈二十面体，由被包膜包围的核衣壳组成，直径约为150纳米。该病毒在血清学上与一株与类似生殖器疾病有关的新西兰山羊疱疹病毒分离株（NZ-CpHV）相关，并且与牛疱疹病毒1型（BHV-1）不同，呈现单向中和模式。
