Ovine Herpesvirus 2 Encodes a Previously Unrecognized Protein, pOv8.25, That Targets Mitochondria and Triggers Apoptotic Cell Death. [PDF]
Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) circulates among sheep without causing disease. However, upon transmission to cattle, the same virus instigates a frequently lethal disease, malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). While the cause of death and pathogenesis of tissue

Coding complete genome of a strain of ovine herpesvirus-2 associated with a clinical case of malignant catarrhal fever in a domestic lamb. [PDF]
Ovine herpesvirus-2 causes sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever, a fatal disease of ruminants and pigs. The virus is carried by sheep, and infection is typically subclinical. Here, we report the coding complete genome sequence of a strain of OvHV-2

Development of a recombinant ELISA for ovine herpesvirus 2, suitable for use in sheep
The minor capsid protein of ovine herpesvirus 2, identified as a potential antigen for serological testing, was over-expressed and purified to allow its assessment in ELISA. The corresponding gene sequence (OvHV-2 orf65, Ov65) was modified to incorporate epitope tags and internal restriction enzyme sites in an E.

Systemic Necrotizing Vasculitis in Sheep Is Associated With Ovine Herpesvirus 2 [PDF]
Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) is one of the gammaherpesviruses in the genus Macavirus that can cause malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) in ungulates. Sheep are the adapted host for OvHV-2 and it is generally assumed that infection is not associated with disease in this species.

Complete sequence and analysis of the ovine herpesvirus 2 genome [PDF]
Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) is endemic in sheep populations worldwide and causes malignant catarrhal fever (MCF), a lymphoproliferative disease, in cattle, bison and deer. OvHV-2 has been placed in the gammaherpesvirus subfamily and is related closely to Alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1).

Malignant Catarrhal Fever caused by Ovine Herpesvirus-2 in a cow
Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) has been defined as a viral disease of domestic cattle and wild ruminants. We report a case of MCF caused by ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2) in a 4-year-old female Holstein cow. Microscopic examination showed that fibrinoid necrotic vasculitis in all tissues and organs; inflammatory changes in the vessel walls of the brain
