Abstract

Modified live virus (MLV) bovine herpesvirus 1 vaccines have been a major aid to the prevention of reproductive disease in cattle. However, their use (or misuse) can result in major abortions storms. We describe 3 different cases where MLV vaccines resulted in abortion storms and the use of SNP to identify the source.
