Abstract
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a herpesvirus infection with diverse consequences including non-clinical inapparent infection, upper respiratory disease, conjunctivitis, lesions of the mucous membranes of the male and female reproductive tract, abortion, and occasionally encephalitis. The virus is readily transmitted and has worldwide distribution. It is perpetuated in populations by latent persistent infections which can be reactivated by stress.
The disease can tentatively be diagnosed on the basis of clinical signs and distinctive tissue lesions. Definitive diagnosis requires laboratory tests of which a variety are available.
The control of IBR is based on vaccination with inactivated or modified live virus vaccines.
