Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) is distributed worldwide and is a major pathogen in cattle, being the causal agent of a variety of clinical syndromes. The aim of this study was to isolate and to characterize (molecular and biological characterization) BoHV-1 from 29 immunosuppressed animals. It was possible to obtain 18 isolates, each from a different animal, such as from the respiratory and reproductive tracts. In some cases the cytopathic effect was visible 12 hours post-inoculation, and became characteristic after 36-48 hours. Biological characteristics were evaluated and compared with Iowa and Colorado-1 reference strains, and differences were found in plaque size, virus titer measured by TCID50 and PFU/mL, and one step virus curves. These results showed that some isolates had a highly virulent-like behavior in vitro, compared to the reference strains, with shorter eclipse periods, faster release of virus into the supernatants, and higher burst size and viral titer. There were no differences in glycoprotein expression of BoHV-1 isolates, measured by Western blot on monolayers. Moreover, using restriction endonucleases analysis, most of the viruses were confirmed as BoHV-1.1 and just one of them was confirmed as BoHV-1.2a subtype. These findings suggest that some wild-type BoHV-1 isolates could be useful as seeds to develop new monovalent vaccines.

Oncolytic viruses are a promising approach for cancer treatment where viruses selectively target and kill cancer cells while also stimulating an immune response. Among viruses with this ability, bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) has several advantages, including observations suggesting it may not require viral replication for its anti-cancer effects. We previously demonstrated that binding and penetration of enveloped virus particles are sufficient to trigger intrinsic and innate immune signaling in normal cells, while other groups have published the efficacy of non-replicating viruses as viable immunotherapies in different cancer models.

Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), caused by bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), has a significant economic impact on affected farms worldwide. For effective disease control, it is crucial to select an appropriate vaccine based on the specific genotype of BVDV. Therefore, developing a rapid and reliable assay to detect and genotype BVDV is imperative for controlling the spread of disease.

Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) productive infection induces the formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), the most severe form of DNA lesions in cultured cells. 53BP1, a chromatin-associated factor, plays an essential role in DNA damage repair. In this study, we demonstrated that BoHV-1 productive infection in bovine kidney (MDBK) cells increased the expression of phosphorylated form of H2AX protein (γH2AX) and promoted the formation of γH2AX foci in the nucleus, indicative of enhanced DNA lesions.

Bovine alpha-herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is a significant problem for the cattle industry, in part because the virus establishes latency, and stressful stimuli increase the incidence of reactivation from latency. Sensory neurons in trigeminal ganglia and unknown cells in pharyngeal tonsils are importantsites for latency. Reactivation from latency can lead to reproductive problems in pregnant cows, virus transmission to young calves, suppression of immune responses, and bacterial pneumonia.

Article Synopsis
- NECTIN1 is a cell adhesion molecule known mainly for its interaction with herpesviruses, but this study reveals its new role as a barrier against flavivirus infections, specifically BVDV.
- The researchers found that reducing NECTIN1 levels increased BVDV infections and identified NECTIN1's IgV domain as crucial for its inhibiting function, affecting how BVDV attaches to cells.
- The study also showed NECTIN1’s broader antiviral activity against several other viruses, highlighting its potential significance as a restriction factor in controlling flavivirus infections.
