Abstract

Modified-live virus (MLV) bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) vaccines have been a major part of the program to the prevention of reproductive disease in cattle. However, their use (or misuse) continues to result in major abortion storms. The results of 20 additional cases with reproductive losses are described where the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis was done to identify the source.
