Evolution of Bovine Herpesvirus-1 infection prevalence and infection dynamics in Irish dairy herds following an IBR hyperimmunisation vaccination protocol
The control and eradication of BoHV-1 from the Republic of Ireland present many challenges to the Irish dairy industry. The results suggest that the maintenance of a hyperimmunisation protocol with an IBR gE-/tk- marker vaccine contribute to effectively and efficiently reducing BoHV-1 seroprevalence within the Irish dairy sector at farm level. Further large-scale controlled studies are required to confirm its role in national eradication strategies.
