Experimental infection of wildebeest with the herpesvirus of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/infectious pustular vulvovaginitis

EZ Mushi and L Karstad


ABSTRACT

Intravaginal inoculation of a wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) with a wildebeest strain of the infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/infectious pustular vulvovaginitis herpesvirus induced only mild vulvovaginitis. The same virus did not produce any disease in another wildebeest exposed intranasally. A wildebeest bull which was inoculated by preputial instillation developed mild posthitis. The virus was reisolated only from the sites of inoculation. A carrier state was initiated in a wildebeest inoculated only once, intravaginally. The presence of this virus in the various secretions is a potential source for venereal transmission.
