Replacement of Glycoprotein B in Alcelaphine Herpesvirus 1 by Its Ovine Herpesvirus 2 Homolog : Implications in Vaccine Development for Sheep-Associated Malignant Catarrhal Fever [PDF]

mSphere, 2016
Vaccine development is a top priority in malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) research. In the case of sheep-associated MCF (SA-MCF) caused by ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2), progress toward this objective has been hindered by the absence of methods to ...

Transplacental Transmission of Ovine Herpesvirus 2 in Cattle with Sheep-associated Malignant Catarrhal Fever

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2015
Sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever (SA-MCF) is an important infectious disease of ruminants worldwide that is caused by ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2). OvHV-2 is transmitted predominantly by contact between infected and susceptible hosts, while the documentation of vertical transmission is rare. This report presents the pathological and molecular

Detection of ovine herpesvirus-2 in swine semen, Brazil [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2010
Background Malignant Catarrhal Fever (MCF) is an often lethal viral disease of susceptible biungulates from Bovidae, Cervidae and Suidae subfamilies. Cases of porcine MCF have been associated with direct or indirect contact with sheep, the main reservoir of ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2). Pigs are terminal hosts and not considered in virus spread. Herein,

The Pathology of Malignant Catarrhal Fever, With an Emphasis on Ovine Herpesvirus 2 [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2014
The enigmatic pathogenesis of malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) involves dysregulated immune responses in susceptible ruminant species. Economically important outbreaks of MCF are due to 2 of the 10 viruses currently comprising the malignant catarrhal fever virus group: ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) and alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1).

First reported case in an Irish flock of MCF- like systemic necrotizing vasculitis in sheep associated with ovine herpesvirus 2 [PDF]

Irish Veterinary Journal
Background Ovine gammaherpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) is the causative agent of sheep associated malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). As sheep are the adapted host for OvHV-2, it is generally presumed that infection is not associated with disease in this species ...

Granulomatous mural folliculitis and cytotoxic interface dermatitis in a pygmy goat associated with ovine herpesvirus‐2 and systemic lesions of malignant catarrhal fever [PDF]

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract A 1‐year‐old pygmy goat presented with progressive alopecia, skin ulceration and lichenification over the neck, face and body. Empirical treatment for parasitic and fungal causes of skin disease did not produce clinical improvement, prompting a full diagnostic investigation.

Characterization of ovine herpesvirus 2-induced malignant catarrhal fever in rabbits [PDF]

Veterinary Microbiology, 2011
Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is a frequently fatal lymphoproliferative disease syndrome primarily of ruminant species, caused by gammaherpesviruses in the genus Macavirus. Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2), carried by sheep, causes sheep-associated MCF worldwide, while Alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1), carried by wildebeest, causes wildebeest ...
