Epidemiology and eradication of infectious bovine [PDF]
Background: Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IBR/IPV) is a significant disease among domestic and wild cattle. The BHV-1 infection was first detected in Finland in 1970; presumably it was imported in 1968.

Pantinin‐Derived Peptides against Veterinary Herpesviruses: Activity and Structural Characterization
Pantinin‐1 and pantinin‐2, scorpion venom–derived peptides, show potent antiviral activity against caprine and bovine herpesviruses. Acting via virucidal action and inhibition of viral entry/fusion, they adopt α‐helical structures in membrane‐mimetic environments. These structure–activity insights highlight their potential as therapeutic agents against

Improved Pregnancy Outcomes in Beef Heifers Through Delayed Insemination of Sexed Semen
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effect of the timing of Y‐sorted sexed semen (SS) insemination after the onset of estrus on reproductive outcomes in beef heifers and examined the influence of AI sires and their sperm DNA fragmentation (%SDF) over time.

Herd-level prevalence of selected endemic infectious diseases of dairy cows in Great Britain [PDF]
To implement appropriate and effective disease control programs at the national level, up-to-date and unbiased information on disease frequency is needed. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of selected endemic infectious diseases in the

Aborted bovine foetuses were collected from dairy cattle in Khorasan Razavi province. Brain samples of aborted foetuses were tested to detect N.caninum infection using nested PCR and histopathological examination. In addition, blood samples were collected from dairy cattle that had aborted PCR‐positive foetuses and were analysed using ELISA .

Biophysical Characterization of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Virus
SummaryThe size of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus grown in bovine kidney tissue culture, based on ultracentrifugation results is between 145–156 mμ in diameter. Electron microscopical examination of infectious fluids revealed particles of 136 ± 10.8 mμ in diameter.

Comparing the immune response to a novel intranasal nanoparticle PLGA vaccine and a commercial BPI3V vaccine in dairy calves [PDF]
peer-reviewedBackground There is a need to improve vaccination against respiratory pathogens in calves by stimulation of local immunity at the site of pathogen entry at an early stage in life. Ideally such a vaccine preparation would not be inhibited by

Environmental sustainability and ruminant production: A UK veterinary perspective
Abstract Environmental sustainability is an issue of growing importance within the livestock industry, particularly for farmed ruminants. Changes to farming practices made to improve sustainability can have an impact on the health and welfare of animals, and so become the concern of veterinary practitioners.

A stochastic simulation model to determine the sample size of repeated national surveys to document freedom from bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) infection [PDF]
Background International trade regulations require that countries document their livestock's sanitary status in general and freedom from specific infective agents in detail provided that import restrictions should be applied.
