Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-infectious pustular vulvovaginitis viral isolates from cattle with epididymitis and vaginitis.

Abstract

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IBR-IPV) viral isolates were obtained from cattle affected with epididymitis-vaginitis. Isolation of virus from the diseased animals indicated that the genital form of IBR-IPV virus infection exists in Kenya and that epididymitis-vaginitis may be associated with IBR-IPV virus. Serums prepared from cattle having the genital form of the disease did not always have detectable antibody titers.
