Bovine Herpes Virus 1 (BHV1) consists of three subtypes, which probably differ in their epizootiological characteristics. BHV1 subtypes 1 and 2a are mainly associated with the respiratory form of the disease (IBR), subtype 2b with IPV/IBP, and subtype 3 with encephalitis. BHV1 subtype 1 is excreted in high titres in nasal secretions and spreads more effectively than the other subtypes. Cattle are the only significant source of viral spread. Although other species may become infected, they probably do not contribute to the spread of BHV1. Airborne transmission or spread of the virus by humans is believed to be of minor importance.
牛疱疹病毒1型(BHV1)由三个亚型组成,它们的流行病学特征可能有所不同。BHV1亚型1和2a主要与疾病的呼吸道形式(传染性牛鼻气管炎,IBR)相关,亚型2b与传染性脓疱性外阴阴道炎/传染性脓疱性包皮炎(IPV/IBP)相关,亚型3与脑炎相关。BHV1亚型1在鼻分泌物中以高滴度排出,并且比其他亚型传播更有效。牛是病毒传播的唯一重要来源。虽然其他物种可能会被感染,但它们可能不会导致BHV1的传播。据信病毒通过空气传播或由人类传播的重要性较小。
