AB  - Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a highly contagious 
  disease caused by the bovine herpesvirus-1. The main biological characteristic 
  of herpesviruses is the establishment of latency in sensory ganglia, the animal 
  remaining infected all their life. The objective of the present study was to 
  describe the seroepidemiology aspects of BHV-1 infection on cattle farms from 
  North-East of Romania. During 2011 to 2012, 1538 blood samples were collected 
  from 87 cattle herds. In these herds serum samples were collected from cows, 
  heifers and calves. A commercial gB ELISA test was used to analyze samples for 
  antibodies against BHV1. The overall prevalence of IBR was found to be 36.02% 
  (554 positive samples out of 1538) in cattle herds from North East of Romania.
