Isolation of a herpesvirus serologically related to bovine herpesvirus 1 from a reindeer (Rangifer tarandus).

摘要: Serological evidence of exposure reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) to a virus related bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) (Synonym: Infectious rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus) has been reported in Canada (El Azhary 1979) and the USA (Dieterich 1981). A serological survey conducted Finnish Lapland also detected neutralising antibodies BHV1 sera; 23 % 300 had detectable antibodies, whereas none cattle sera from same region contained (Ek-Kommonen et al. 1982). There is currently no infection Finland, so isolation characterisation was considerable interest. This short communication describes preliminary following administration dexamethasone.
