Amphibians are organisms which mainly have a biphasic life cycle. When at the larval stage, their habitat is generally aquatic, and when adults, they become terrestrial. Pond-breeding amphibians are sensitive to some disturbances in their environment which lead to the decline of a population.

Bovine herpesvirus 1 can impact the bovine oocyte development during in vitro maturation.

Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) disseminates easily, is difficult to control, and is widely spread in cattle herds worldwide. BoHV-1 causes a broad range of losses to the cattle industry, mainly concerning reproduction. Previous studies involving experimental infection of BoHV-1 in an in vitro embryo production system have reported impairment of embryonic development by BoHV-1.
