Bovine alphaherpesvirus type 1 (BoAHV-1) infections lead to compromised herd health and significantly reduced productivity of affected cattle. While BoAHV-1 may cause rhinotracheitis, conjunctivitis, genital infections, and abortions, respiratory tract infections constitute the predominant clinical disease. Immune suppression induced by BoAHV-1 may contribute to co-infections initiating the bovine respiratory disease complex. In this review, the emphasis is to recapitulate the biology and the vaccine technologies currently in use and in development for BoAHV-1, and to discuss the major limitations. Studies on the life cycle and host interactions of BoAHV-1 have resulted in the identification of virulence factors. While several vaccine types, such as vectored vaccines and subunit vaccines, are under investigation, modified live and inactivated BoAHV-1 vaccines are still most frequently used in most areas of the world, whereas attenuated and inactivated marker vaccines are in use in Europe. The knowledge gained from studies on the biology of BoAHV-1 can form a basis for the rational design of future vaccines.

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.

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.

Article Synopsis
- BoHV-1 is a major concern for the cattle industry due to its ability to remain dormant and reactivate during stressful conditions, leading to various health issues in cattle.
- The virus primarily establishes latency in sensory neurons of the trigeminal ganglia and cells in the pharyngeal tonsils, with reactivation linked to reproductive issues, immune suppression, and pneumonia risk in young calves.
- Key transcription factors, including the glucocorticoid receptor and KLF15, play crucial roles in initiating viral replication and reactivation from latency by interacting with the virus's genetic material.

Article Synopsis
- - IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis) is a respiratory disease in cattle caused by the bovine alphaherpesvirus type 1 (BoAHV-1), which has multiple subtypes and causes serious health issues, including reproductive failures like abortions.
- - The virus can remain dormant in cattle and reactivate under stress or illness, spreading through direct contact or via the reproductive system, and it can also be transmitted through contaminated semen.
- - Diagnosis involves lab tests like cell culture and PCR, while management includes isolating infected animals and vaccination to prevent further spread and reduce symptoms.
