Ovine Herpesvirus 2 Infection in Foal, Brazil [PDF]
To the Editor: Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is an acute, generalized, and usually fatal disease previously thought to be restricted to mammals of the order Artiodactyla, often members of the subfamilies Bovinae, Cervidae, and Suidae (1). Although animals of the order Perissodactyla, family Equidae, have previously been considered not susceptible to ...

Transmission of Ovine Herpesvirus 2 from Asymptomatic Boars to Sows [PDF]
To the Editor: Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is an often lethal viral disease of susceptible biungulates from the Bovidae, Cervidae, and Suidae subfamilies. MCF in pigs has been associated with direct or indirect contact with sheep, which are the main reservoir of ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) (1).

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

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

Molecular detection and characterization of ovine herpesvirus-2 using heminested PCR in Pakistan. [PDF]
Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is a highly fatal lymphoproliferative disease of cattle, deer, bison, water buffalo, and pigs caused by the gamma-herpesviruses alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 (AlHV-1) and ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2).This study aimed to determine the prevalence of OvHV-2 in sheep, goats, cattle, and buffalo in Rawalpindi and Islamabad ...

Transmission of Ovine Herpesvirus 2 in Lambs [PDF]
ABSTRACT The pattern of acquisition of ovine herpesvirus 2 (OHV-2) infection in lambs was examined by a competitive-inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and PCR. Newborn lambs ( n = 118) did not exhibit antibody at birth. Viral DNA in peripheral blood leukocytes was detected in only 3% (

Identification of a Novel Astrovirus Associated with Bovine Respiratory Disease
Astroviruses (AstVs) cause gastrointestinal disease in mammals and avians. Emerging evidence suggests that some AstVs have extraintestinal tissue tropism, with AstVs detected in the liver, kidney, central nervous system, and the respiratory tract variably associated with disease.

Malignant catarrhal fever in cattle in Spain
Abstract We report a case of malignant catarrhal fever in cattle in a mixed herd (ovine/bovine). The case occurred in the Basque Country (north of Spain) in April 2021. The infection was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction in a calf that had developed signs consistent with the ‘head and eye’ form of the disease.
