Abstract

The Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis disease occupies an important position among the sexually transmitted diseases of bovines. The disease is caused by bovine herepes virus which has three subtypes. Viruses from the BHV-1.1 subtype cause severe respiratory disease and may cause abortion. Some vaccines developed against the virus have been found to be promising.
