Identification and phylogenetic analysis of bovine herpesvirus 4 isolated from aborted bovine foetuses in Türkiye.

Bovine herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) is responsible for reproductive disorders and abortions in cattle. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of BoHV-4 in abortions in dairy cows when the possible aetiological cause could not be determined in Türkiye. The study also provided the molecular characterization of BoHV-4 strains based on the gB gene.
