Genome sequence of bovine herpesvirus 5 (BoHV-5) isolate from India
Recently, we identified bovine herpesvirus 5 (BoHV-5) in a vaginal swab from aborted cattle. It was unusual in two aspects: first, its association with abortion (it is otherwise mainly associated with encephalitis), and second, it is the first report from India (as it is mostly restricted to South American countries). In this study, we conducted the genome sequencing of the BoHV-5 isolate and provided insights into its phylogenetic relationships with other BoHV-5 strains. These findings contribute valuable knowledge toward understanding the epidemiology and evolution of BoHV-5.
