The results of bovine herpesvirus (IBR-IPV) neutralization tests conducted on the sera of 463 animals with a prior history of undiagnosed abortion and 331 control animals with no history of abortion are reported. One hundred and thirty-one (28.3 per cent) of the aborting and 105 (31.7 per cent) of the control animals, were found to harbour antibody to this virus. No significant seasonal or gestational incidence could be determined but some variation in the annual incidence was apparent. On the basis of these results it appears unlikely that this virus is responsible for a significant proportion of the undiagnosed cases of bovine abortion in Quebec and Ontario, where the animals tested were located. The problems involved in substantiating a diagnosis of abortion due to bovine herpesvirus are briefly discussed.
报告了对463头有不明原因流产病史的动物血清和331头无流产病史的对照动物血清进行牛疱疹病毒（IBR - IPV）中和试验的结果。发现131头（28.3%）流产动物和105头（31.7%）对照动物携带该病毒抗体。未发现明显的季节性或妊娠发病率，但年发病率存在一些差异。根据这些结果，在进行测试的动物所在的魁北克省和安大略省，该病毒似乎不太可能是导致大部分不明原因牛流产病例的原因。文中简要讨论了证实牛疱疹病毒引起流产诊断所涉及的问题。
