Sheep and goats were shown to be susceptible to experimental infection with bovid herpesvirus 2 (BHV2), administered by either the intradermal or intravenous route. Lesions developing in sheep following intradermal inoculation of virus were similar to those in cattle inoculated intradermally, whereas the lesions in goats resolved without ulceration or scabbing. Disseminated circumscribed skin lesions developed in sheep and goats given BHV2 by the intravenous route. These lesions resolved in four to eight days without significant effect on the skin. BHV2 was isolated from skin lesions of sheep, goats and cattle that were infected intravenously, from sheep and cattle infected intradermally and from the leucocytes of the three species following intravenous inoculation of virus. Latent infection of sheep and goats was demonstrated following corticosteroid treatment 60 days after infection.
绵羊和山羊经皮内或静脉途径接种牛疱疹病毒2型（BHV2）后，被证明对实验性感染敏感。皮内接种病毒后绵羊出现的病变与皮内接种的牛相似，而山羊的病变消退，无溃疡或结痂。经静脉途径给予BHV2的绵羊和山羊出现了散在的局限性皮肤病变。这些病变在4至8天内消退，对皮肤无明显影响。从静脉感染的绵羊、山羊和牛的皮肤病变中、皮内感染的绵羊和牛中以及三种动物静脉接种病毒后的白细胞中分离出了BHV2。感染60天后给予皮质类固醇治疗，证明绵羊和山羊存在潜伏感染。
