Isolation of caprine herpesvirus type 1 in Spain

Vet Rec. 2004 Mar 27;154(13):395-9. doi: 10.1136/vr.154.13.395.

Abstract

Two strains of caprine herpesvirus type 1 (CpHV-1) were isolated after the experimental reactivation of two seropositive goats in Spain. Viral DNA from these isolates was compared with DNA from bovine herpesvirus type 1 and CpHV-1 reference strains by restriction endonuclease analysis. The two Spanish isolates were closely related but could easily be distinguished from each other and from the reference strains.
