AI Article Synopsis
- This study is the first to report the presence of Bovine herpesvirus 6 (BoHV-6) in buffaloes from the Amazon region in Brazil.
- Phylogenetic analysis showed that these Brazilian strains of BoHV-6 are related to sequences found in other regions, according to GenBank data.
- Buffaloes in one herd with lymphoproliferative disease tested negative for Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), suggesting that while BoHV-6 is present, its significance and the nature of its relationship with disease remain unclear.
Article Abstract
This study presents the first description of Bovine herpesvirus 6 (BoHV-6) that was isolated from buffaloes of Amazon region in Brazil. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the BoHV-6 Brazilian strains clustered with the sequence of BoHV-6 from elsewhere available at the GenBank. It was observed in some buffaloes with lymphoproliferative disease in one herd, thus the animals were also tested for Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), which has been associated to lymphoma in bovines. All animals were negative to BLV. These results indicate that BoHV-6 is present in buffaloes in Brazil, but the importance and impact of this infection and its association with any illness is still undefined.

The bovine respiratory disease complex (BRD) is a multifactorial disease caused by various bacterial and viral pathogens. Using rapid pathogen detection techniques is helpful for tailoring therapeutic and preventive strategies in affected animals and herds. The objective of this study was to report the frequency of 10 pathogens by multiplex RT-qPCR on samples submitted for BRD diagnosis to a diagnostic laboratory (Biovet Inc.

Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) seriously affects the production safety of the cattle industry and leads to epidemics worldwide. Luteolin (Lut), a flavonoid substance, can be found in vegetables, fruits, and herbs and possesses various biological properties. Here, we found that Lut can dose-dependently and significantly inhibit the cytopathic effects of BHV-1, decrease the viral titer, and suppress the BHV-1 gB gene and VP8 protein levels on bovine nasal turbinate osteoblasts (BT) and bovine kidney epithelial cells (MDBK).

Varicellovirus bovinealpha 1 and 5 (formerly bovine alphaherpesvirus type 1 and 5, BoAHV-1 and BoAHV-5) are closely related and can be isolated from similar clinical conditions, including respiratory and nervous diseases, genital infections and abortion. Pathogens' activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs) induces the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and antimicrobial peptides such as cathelicidins. Cathelicidins are presumed to act as endogenous ligands of TLRs, stimulating, in turn, their activation.

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.

A remarkable percentage of cows in industrialized dairy farms can be affected by uterine diseases including endometritis. Different viral and bacterial agents are causing endometritis in dairy cows including Trueperella pyogenes, and bovine alphaherpesvirus 1. Also, bovine gammaherpesvirus type 4 (BoGHV-4) is responsible for different reproductive disorders.
